True
The green leafy plants recognized as ferns are from the...generation of the plant.
sporophyte
The gymnosperm tree or shrub comprises the... generation of the plant.
sporophyte
The organ that produces the egg cell in the life cycle of the pine is called the...
archegonium
Plants that produce seeds within a cone are called...
gymnosperms
Life cycles found in vascular plants are variations of the... life cycle.
sporic
How does the egg of a flower become fertilized?

True
About one year is required in the gymnosperm:
between pollination and fertilization
