Question

Which of the following is/are grouped under phanerogams

• A. Angiosperms
• B. Gymnosperms
• C. Pteridophytes
• D. Both (a) and (b)

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both (a) and (b)

The Plant Kingdom is further sub-divided into two categories- cryptogamae and Phanerogamae. Cryptogamae includes the plants which are without seeds, whereas Phanerogamae includes plants with seeds. Sex organs are visible in Phanerogamae. Gymnosperms and angiosperms are grouped under Phanerogamae. Gymnosperms are those plants which have seeds but their seeds are naked. In these plants, seeds remain exposed over the surface of the megasporophylls.

Angiosperms are those seed plants in which seeds are formed inside fruits and the sporophylls are organized into flowers

So, the correct answer is 'Both (a) and (b)'
