    Question

    Gymnosperms are plants:

    A.

    that have fruits without seeds

    B.

    that grow only in water

    C.

    that have only flowers

    D.

    that have seeds but no flowers or fruits

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is (D) that have seeds but no flowers or fruits

    Explanation:
    • Gymnosperms literally translates to "naked seeds" (from Greek gymnos = naked, sperma = seed).
    • They are a group of seed-producing plants where the seeds develop on the surface of scales or leaves, often forming cones, rather than being enclosed in an ovary (fruit).

    Information Booster:
    • Familiar examples of gymnosperms include pine, spruce, fir, and cycads.
    • They do not produce flowers; angiosperms are the flowering plants.

    Additional Knowledge:
    • Option A: Incorrect. Angiosperms produce fruits containing seeds. Parthenocarpic plants produce seedless fruits.
    • Option B: Incorrect. Gymnosperms are predominantly terrestrial plants.
