The life cycle of a dioecious flowering plant (angiosperm), the willow, has been outlined in some detail in an earlier section (A complex life cycle). The life cycle of a gymnosperm is similar. However, flowering plants have in addition a phenomenon called ' double fertilization '.

Angiosperm flower showing reproductive parts and life cycle. The characteristic feature of angiosperms is the flower. Its function is to ensure fertilization of the ovule and development of fruit containing seeds. [55] It may arise terminally on a shoot or from the axil of a leaf. [56]
Angiosperm life cycle. All multicellular plants have a life cycle comprising two generations or phases. The gametophyte phase has a single set of chromosomes (denoted 1n) and produces gametes (sperm and eggs). The sporophyte phase has paired chromosomes (denoted 2n) and produces spores.
Angiosperm life cycle. The male reproductive organ of the flower, the stamen, produces pollen. The opening of anthers makes pollen available for subsequent pollination (transfer of pollen grains to the pistil, the female reproductive organ). Each pollen grain contains a vegetative cell, and a generative cell that divides to form two sperm cells.
The parts of a flower Double fertilization. Double fertilization or double fertilisation (see spelling differences) is a complex fertilization mechanism of angiosperms.This process involves the fusion of a female gametophyte or megagametophyte, also called the embryonic sac, with two male gametes (sperm).
Seed producing plants, which include the angiosperms and the gymnosperms, have a heteromorphic alternation of generations with large sporophytes containing much-reduced gametophytes. Angiosperms have distinctive reproductive organs called flowers, with carpels , and the female gametophyte is greatly reduced to a female embryo sac, with as few ...
