What is the reproductive adaption of gymnosperms?
gymnosperms were the first seed plants and bear their ovules and seeds exposed on the plant surface, it literally mean naked seed. at the time of pollination, the pollen or male pollen grains fall among the cone scales until they fall on to the ovules. as the cone grows up, it gets bigger and the seeds that are created by the male pollen and female parts are seen. most conifers are evergreens or always green and they do not shed their leaves as deciduous plants do but retain their needles for quite a while. when the needles fall off, they are quickly replaced.
