Sperm can be aided in their travel to the egg by insects E. They have cells with 9+2 flagellaarrow_forwardTrimerophytes were plants that probably evolved from rhyniophytes but with more derived features. In one feature, certain stems grow longer than others, and thus, rather than having dichotomous branching, they have branching (displayed especially by Pertica).
