Do Angiosperms or Gymnosperms generally produce more pollen grains? Explain.?

production of pollen grains depends MOSTLY on the agents of pollination ( Insects, wind, animals , and birds ).



There is a great deal of wastage of pollen when it is carried by wind ( Anemophylous plant = wind pollinated plants ) .



So wind pollinated plants tend to produce enormous quantity of pollen .



All Gymnosperms are wind pollinated so they tend to produce more pollen. Pinus is a very good example.



In Angiosperms ( employing many agents for pollination ) the grasses ( Family = Poaceae ) produce enormous quantity of pollen as they are wind pollinated .

Thanks fot the honor !!! Report It
Reply:angiosperm plants create a male and a female inside the seed so they can grow super fast and reproduce





and gymnosperms have a long reproductive rate (they are naked seeds so they dont have an outer shell) becasue they are not self fertalized like the angiosperm so typical growth rate is 18 months



so go with angiosperms
