Question

The end products of sexual reproduction in Phanerogamae are -

• A. Both B and C
• B. Seeds
• C. Flowers
• D. Fruits

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Both B and C

Kingdom Plantae is broadly divided into Phanerogamae and Cryptogamae. Phanerogams (gymnosperms and angiosperms) possess reproductive organs that are easily visible. Sexual reproduction induces various changes in their reproductive organs ultimately forming seeds as the end products. Gymnosperms have naked seeds, i.e., their seeds are not enclosed within a fruit. Angiosperms, also called flowering plants have their seeds enclosed within a fruit which is generally formed from the ovary of the flower, a characteristic organ that is seen only in angiosperms. Thus, both fruits and seeds are the end products of sexual reproduction in Phanerogamae.
