The cycads, a mostly tropical phylum of gymnosperms, evolved about 300 million years ago and were dominant forms during the Age of the Dinosaurs. Though their sperm are flagellated, their ovules are pollinated by beetles. These beetles get nutrition (they eat pollen) and shelter from the microsporophylls. Upon visiting megasporophylls, the beetles transfer pollen to the exposed ovules. In cycads, pollen cones and seed cones are borne on different plants. Cycads synthesize neurotoxins, especially in the seeds, that are effective against most animals, including humans. 8) On the Pacific island of Guam, large herbivorous bats called "flying foxes" commonly feed on cycad seeds, a potent source of neurotoxins. The flying foxes do not visit male cones. Consequently, what should be true? A) Flying foxes are highly susceptible to the effects of the neurotoxins. B) Flying foxes can be dispersal agents of cycad seeds if the seeds sometimes get swallowed whole (i.e., without getting chewed). C) The flying foxes are attracted to cycad fruit, and eat the enclosed seeds only by accident. D) The flying foxes assist the beetles as important pollinating agents of the cycads. 8) For the following questions, match the various structures of seed plants with the proper sex and generation (A D) that most directly produces them. 9) pollen tube 9) A) male gametophyte B) male sporophyte C) female sporophyte D) female gametophyte 10) Which of these statements is false? 10) A) A female pinecone is a short stem with spore-bearing appendages.
