Question

Cycas has two cotyledons but still are not included in angiosperms. Choose the correct reason.

• A. Presence of vessels
• B. No seeds
• C. Naked seeds
• D. No flowers

Answer 1

The correct option is C Naked seeds

Gymnosperms, to which Cycas belongs, are the naked seeded plants. They do not have accessory whorls and the male and female reproductive whorls are exposed.

Conducting tissues like xylem and phloem are present in the form of tracheids and sieve cells in gymnosperms. Vessels are absent.
