Question

For his school project Abdul chooses a plant and he observes that this plant has vessel elements, stem, roots, leaves, seeds but seeds are uncoated and flowers are not present. This plant could be

• A. Eucalyptus
• B. Psilotum
• C. Pinus
• D. Gnetum

Answer 1

The correct option is D Gnetum

Naked or uncoated seeds are seen only in Gymnosperms.

Eucalyptus is an angiospermic plant while Psilotum is a Pteridophyte. Pinus & Gnetum are Gymnospermic plants but all gymnosperms lack Vessel elements in their Xylem except Gnetum so plant observed by Abdul could be Gnetum.
