A Correct answer
Explanation

Gymnosperm generally lacks xylem vessels and companion cells in phloem as it grows in a cold and dry climate and they didn't evolve to have vessels and vessels are considered as advanced elements of xylem. And companion cells in phloem assist active transport of minerals which is absent in Gymnosperm.

So, the correct answer is 'xylem vessels and companion cells in phloem'.

Fruits are not formed in gymnosperms because:

  1. they are seedless

  2. they are not pollinated

  3. the process of fertilization does not occur

  4. they have no ovary
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Gymnosperms have no ovary, they can never produce fruit.  

Seeds develop from the ovules which are found in the developed ovaries or fruit, but in the case of gymnosperms, the ovules are located directly on the surface of the flower or cone.  Yews and ginkgoes develop fruit-like structures, but their seed is not inside these organs, which makes them gymnosperms.
So the correct answer is 'They have no ovary'.
