Question

Pollination occurs in

• A. angiosperms and fungi
• B. angiosperms and gymnosperms
• C. bryophytes and angiosperms
• D. pteridophytes and angiosperms

Answer 1

The correct option is B

angiosperms and gymnosperms

The correct option is B.

Explanation of the correct option:

1. Angiosperms, or flowering plants, have seeds enclosed within their fruit.
2. Gymnosperms, on the other hand, have no blooms or fruits on their leaves, simply bare seeds.
3. The cones are made up of gymnosperm seeds.
4. Gymnosperms are a tiny category of non-flowering plants that produce "bare seeds."
5. This implies that, unlike in a fruit, the seeds are generated on the surface of the reproductive apparatus rather than within it.

Explanation of the incorrect options:

Option A:

1. Fungi have a greater diversity of species than angiosperms.
2. The fungi kingdom is predicted to have 1.5 million species.

Option C:

1. Gymnosperms and angiosperms are two different kinds of flowering plants.
2. Stems, leaves, roots, adequate vascular tissues for transportation, and flowers and fruits are all common elements of these plants.
3. Plants such as liverworts, hornworts, and mosses are examples of bryophytes.

Option D:

1. In gymnosperms, the sporophytic plant body is mostly arborescent, but in pteridophytes, it is not.
2. Pteridophytes have adventitious roots, but gymnosperms have roots that grow from the radicle (tap root).

Final Answer: Pollination occurs In angiosperms and gymnosperms.
