Genetic evidence from the basal types of these organisms suggest that the genus Amborella is sister to all species within this division. They have small male and female gametophytes, allowing faster life cycles. Double fertilization leads to the production of an endosperm, a tissue within the seed that provides the embryo with nutrition. Self-fertilization is prevented by having ovaries enclosed in a carpel, which later develops into fruit. They have a specialized reproductive structure consisting of pistils and stamens, unlike the other extant division of seed plants. For 10 points, name this division containing flowering plants, contrasted with gymnosperms.
