cones are specialized reproductive structures of the sporophyte. Each cone consists of several âscalesâ arranged around an axis. Each scale is a sporophyll that will bear the spores of the sporophyte generation. An ovulate cone has many hard, radiating scales, each bearing a pair of ovules. Pollen cones are generally much smaller than ovulate cones; they contain many sporangia, each of which makes numerous haploid spores by meiosis. Male gametophytes (pollen grains) develop from the spores.
Bradycardia was defined as a heart rate less than 60 beats per minute when textbooks asserted that the normal range for heart rates was 60â100 BPM. The normal range has since been revised in textbooks to 50â90 BPM for a human at total rest.
What Is a Normal Heart Rate? Whatâs normal depends on your age and activity level, but generally a resting heart rate of 60-80 beats per minute (BPM) is considered to be in the normal range. If you are an athlete, a normal resting heart rate can be as low as 40 BPM.
