Question

state the adaptation shown by the leaves of gymnosperm plants?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. • Water evaporation from leaves is reduced by their thin shape and the thick cuticle. Snow slides easily off needle-shaped leaves, keeping the load light and decreasing breaking of branches.
2. Adaptations to cold and dry weather explain the predominance of conifers at high altitudes and in cold climates.

Hope this answer helps you!!!!

Compared to ferns, gymnosperms have three additional adaptations that make survival in diverse land habitats possible. These adaptations include an even smaller gametophyte, pollen, and the seed. Gymnosperms are plants that bear seeds that are "naked," meaning not enclosed in an ovary.
