Hii :)

First, what is a "Gymnosperm"?

A gymnosperm is a plant that has seeds unprotected  by a fruit.

Now, whats a fern?

A fern is a flowerless plant that  has feathery or leafy fronds and reproduces by spores released from the undersides of the fronds.

Okay, now, what makes them different?

  • Ferns are flowerless
  • Ferns do not have seeds
  • Ferns are grouped into one divison
  • Ferns have smaller species
  • Gymnosperms have seeds.
  • Gymnosperms are grouped in  more than one divison
  • Gymnosperms have a larger species.

Now, what do the have in common?

  • They are both vascular
  • They both have sporophyte dominant generation

Some gymnosperm types

  • cycads. Palm-like plants found mainly in tropical and subtropical regions.
  • ginkgoes: maidenhair tree. One species: Ginkgo biloba; the maidenfern tree no longer living in the wild, and only found in cultivation.
  • gnetophytes: mormon tea, welwitschia, gnetum.
  • conifers: pines, spruces and firs.

Some types of ferns

  • Boston Fern
  • Maidenhair Fern
  • Cretan Brake Fern
  • Bird’s Nest Fern

Here is paragraph form:

Gymnosperms are different because they have seeds and ferns do not. Gymnosperms also have more than one divison.Both gymnosperms and ferns are vascular. They also both have sporophyte dominant generations. So this is what makes them similar and different.

Hope this helps!
