Plants of this group are diploid and well adapted to extreme conditions. They grow bearing sporophylls in compact structures called cones. The group in reference is
(a) monocots (b) dicots (c) pteridophytes (d) gymnosperms
Plants of this group are diploid and well adapted to extreme conditions. They grow bearing sporophylls in compact structures called cones. The group in reference is
(a) monocots (b) dicots (c) pteridophytes (d) gymnosperms
(d) Gymnosperms include medium-sized trees or tall trees and shrubs. Leaves of these plants are well adapted to withstand extremes of temperatures, humidity and wind. Reproductive organs are usually in the form of cones or strobili.
The male cone is made up of microsporophyll and female cones are made up of megasporophyll. The presence of sporophyll (micro and megasporophyll) shows the development of seed habit but seeds develop from naked ovule and are not covered.
Other examples are incorrect because monocots and dicots belong to angiosperms which have well developed covered seeds. Whereas, pteridophytes do not have microsporophylls and are not adapted to the above-said conditions.
