2. Eggs behind multiple sporophytic barriers
- Megagametophyte (embryo sac) only 7 cells
- Have 2 female gametes:

4. Has fruit – mature ovary holding seeds
Ancestral traits = came first, before derived
Derived traits – came later, after ancestral

Reduction – less # parts and size Complex Simple
Fusion - to each other or parts Free parts Fused parts – less
of diff species differentiation of early cells (of
primordial tissues)

Ovary Position Superior (within flower) Inferior (below flower)
Lots of innovations:

- most important innovation!
- parts are hierarchically arranged
- *advantage in reproduction – uses biological systems that can be deeply integrated
- Angiosperms classified based on flower structure
- Parts:
1. Carpel – structures that house ovules within ovary
Stigma – top
Style – stem
Ovary – cavity that houses numerous ovules
Ovule – chamber that holds female gametophyte, embryo develops here
Receptacle – base where carpel sits
2. Stamens – have filaments with anthers that release pollen
