Question

Reason (R): The ovules are not enclosed by any ovary wall and remain exposed.

• B. A and R are true and R is not the correct explaination of A
• C. A is true but R is false
• D. Both A and R are false

Answer 1

The correct option is A A and R are true and R is the correct explaination of A

Gymnosperm means naked seed. They are called so because the ovules are not enclosed by any ovary wall and remain exposed, both before and after fertilisation. The seeds that develop after fertilisation are not covered, i.e., are naked.
