Question

Gymnosperms resemble pteridophytes in

• A. producing seeds
• B. having vessels in xylem
• C. having independent gametophyte
• D. having archegonia

Answer 1

The correct option is D having archegonia

Gymnosperms resemble pteridophytes in having archegonia. Archegonia are female sex organs.

Unlike gymnosperms, pteridophytes do not produce seeds.

Vessels in xylem are found only in angiosperms.

Pteridophytes have independent gametophyte but gymnosperms have a dependent and highly reduced gametophyte.
