Question

Select the correct pair in which one produces naked seeds, whereas the other produce seeds enclosed in maternally derived tissue.

• A. Cyanobacteria and algae
• B. Algae and fungi
• C. Mosses and ferns
• D. Ferns and gymnosperms
• E. Gymnosperms and angiosperms

Answer 1

The correct option is E Gymnosperms and angiosperms

Gymnosperms are seed-bearing plants where seeds are naked and are not enclosed by the ovary.

Angiosperms are seed-bearing plants where seeds are enclosed within the ovary or fruit.

Since both gymnosperms and angiosperms are seed-bearing plants, they are included under phanerogams (all seed plants).

Thus, the correct answer is option E.
