Question

How many generations are present in the seed of gymnosperms?

• A. $2$
• B. $3$
• C. $1$
• D. $4$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $3$

Unlike bryophytes and pteridophytes, in gymnosperm, the male and female gametophytes don't have an independent free-living existence. They remain attached to the sporophytes. After fertilization, these developed into an embryo and the ovule into seeds. Seeds are not covered. So 3 generation live inside one seed of gymnosperm- the embryo and the female gametophytic tissue and the seed coat and the nucellus which is the female sporophytic tissue.

So, the correct option is '3'
