We are being asked to characterize gymnosperms.
00:09
So let's break down the word and see what gymnosperm means.
00:14
Gymno means naked and sperm means seed.
00:34
Okay, so their seeds are naked.
00:36
They have naked seeds.
00:38
And what you see on the upper left picture there, on the forest of pine trees are conifers.
00:44
Pine trees are actually conifers.
00:47
So coniferous trees are all gymnosperms.
00:51
Now, what does it mean to have a naked seed versus a non -naked seed? so gymnosperm is naked seed, angiosperm is not.
01:02
So the seed in angiosperm is encompassed in fruit.
01:14
The seed is not naked.
01:17
And examples given here are tomatoes, apples, and chinese lantern.
01:25
Whereas in coniferous trees, these seeds are produced in cones.
01:30
And once the seeds are mature, the cones open up and just drop the seeds.
01:35
And the seeds are not encompassed in any fruit...
