Summary Introduction
To explain: The differences between cycads and gnetophytes.
Introduction: In plants, the male gamete fuses with the female gamete to produce seed. Seeds are the ones that develop into a whole new plant. Based upon the type of seeds produced, the plants are categorized into two types: gymnosperms and angiosperms. Cycad and gnetophytes are types of gymnosperms.

Make a complete moss life cycle with the following phases and structures. Note: download the images of Mnium from this link and arrange them in the exact sequence to make the lifecycle. Lifecycle structures with cell division: Meiosis, fertilization within archegonium, capsule (sporangium), spores (n), protonema (n) (Image), male gametophyte (n) (Image), female gametophyte (n) (Image), antheridia (Image), archegonia (Image), sperm, egg, water, zygote (2n), embryo, young growing sporophyte (2n), mature sporophyte (2n) (Image), rhizoids. You can insert the non-image part, using the textbox and fill out the suitable s text. For symbol, click on the shape option and inter in your lifecycle diagram at the required place
