From the following list of characteristics, select all that apply to gymnosperms. You should select 4 choices. a) meiosis produces microspores and megaspores b) Seeds are produced inside ovary of a flower d) The gametophyte is the dominant generation e) mitosis produces gametes f) The sporophyte is the dominant generation

To select the characteristics that apply to gymnosperms, we need to consider the characteristics provided in the list: a) Meiosis produces microspores and megaspores: This is a characteristic of gymnosperms, as they undergo meiosis to produce microspores and megaspores. b) Seeds are produced inside the ovary of a flower: This is not a characteristic of gymnosperms. Gymnosperms produce seeds outside of flowers. d) The gametophyte is the dominant generation: This is not a characteristic of gymnosperms. In gymnosperms, the sporophyte is the dominant generation. e) Mitosis produces gametes: This is not a characteristic of gymnosperms. Meiosis produces gametes in gymnosperms. f) The sporophyte is the dominant generation: This is a characteristic of gymnosperms, as the sporophyte is the dominant generation in gymnosperms. Therefore, the characteristics that apply to gymnosperms are: a) Meiosis produces microspores and megaspores f) The sporophyte is the dominant generation
