Q.

Which one of the following is the characteristic feature of gymnosperms?

    Gymnosperms have flowers for reproduction

  2. B

    Seeds are enclosed in fruits

  3. C

    Seeds are naked

  4. D

    Seeds are absent

Solution

The name itself gives it away — Gymnos means “naked” and sperma means “seed”. In gymnosperms the ovules are not enclosed by an ovary wall, so the seeds remain exposed (naked) both before and after fertilisation.
