Which of the following best describes the reproductive life cycles of ferns and angiosperms? angiosperms need moisture to bring together male and female gametes to form a seed, while ferns rely on the formation of pollen tubes. both angiosperms and ferns depend on wind or animals to transfer male gametes to the female gametes during sexual reproduction. the dominant sporophyte phase in the life cycles of both ferns and angiosperms includes the formation of leaves, roots, and stems. ferns produce separate male and female gametophytes for reproduction, while angiosperms develop both gametophytes in the same flower.
