  1. Gymnosperms have naked seed but angiosperms have seed coat

  2. Gymnosperm have leaves but angiosperms do not have leaves

  3. Gymnosperms are seed bearing plant but seed is absent in angiosperm

  4. Both A and B

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Angiosperms, also called flowering plants, have seeds that are enclosed within an ovary and have a seed coat (usually a fruit), while in gymnosperms flowers or fruits are absent and the seeds are naked. So, they are also called naked seeds. These seeds are present on the surface of scales or leaves.
So, the correct answer is 'Gymnosperms have naked seed but angiosperms have seed coat'.

Angiosperms have all except

  1. Sieve cells

  2. Tracheids

  3. Sieve tubes

  4. Vessels

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
A. Sieve cells are present in gymnosperms and pteridophytes and absent in angiosperms.
B. Tracheids are present in angiosperms, gymnosperms and pteridophytes.
C. Sieve tubes are present in angiosperms and absent in gymnosperms and pteridophytes.
D. Vessels are present in angiosperms and absent in gymnosperms and pteridophytes.
So, the correct option is 'Sieve cells'.

  1. $Algae$

  2. $Angiosperms $

  3. $Gymnosperms$

  4. $Pteridophytes$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Triple fusion is the fertilization of the two polar nuclei in the embryo sac. It occurs during the double fertilization of angiosperms. While one sperm cell fertilizes the egg cell in the embryo sac, the other sperm cell fertilizes the two polar nuclei found in the central cell. So the correct option is 'Angiosperm'.

Consider the following statements regarding angiosperms and choose that how many statements are correct?
(i) In phanerogams, gametophytes have no independent existence
(ii) Nectar robbers bring about pollination in some flowing plants
(iii) Hypogeal germination is found in castor, pea and groundnut
(iv) Secondary nucleus is diploid and dikaryotic nucleus.

  1. Angiosperms

  2. Bryophytes

  3. Gymnosperms

  4. Pteridophytes

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Double fertilisation is present in Angiosperms. One male gamete takes part in fertilisation and fuses with the egg, while the other one fuses with secondary nucleus of embryo sac.

The sieve tubes and companion cells are exceptional feature of

  1. Gymnosperms

  2. Angiosperms

  3. Ferns

  4. Pteridophytes

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Companion cells are present only in angiosperms. Companion cells are absent in pteridophytes and gymnosperms. Sieve cells occur in pteridophytes and gymnosperms, while sieve tubes occur in angiosperms.
So, the correct answer is 'Angiosperms'

  4. Sequoia

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The tallest tree ever measured was not a Sequoia sempervirens, but a type of eucalypt (Eucalyptus). Eucalyptus tree is the tallest in the world, the tallest hardwood tree in the world, and the tallest flowering plant in the world.

  1. Cucurbita

  2. Ecballium

  3. Nicotianna

  4. Calotropis

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ecballium elaterium, also called as the squirting cucumber or exploding cucumber (but not to be confused with Cyclanthera explodens), is a plant in the cucumber family. It gets its unusual name from the fact that, when ripe, it squirts a stream of mucilaginous liquid containing its seeds, which can be seen with the naked eye.
It is thus, considered to have rapid plant movement. Cucurbita, Nicotianna and Calotropis is not known as squirting cucumber. 
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
