Question

Gymnosperm is an advanced group than Pteridophytes. Justify this statement with any five point​

Answer 1

The Gnetophyta are a small group of vascular seed plants belonging to the phylum Gnetophyta.

The Gnetophyta include only three genera, Ephedra, Gnetum, and Welwitschia, each of which belongs to a separate family, in a single order, called as the Gnetales.  

The gnetophytes have a number of features in common with the flowering plants (phylum Anthophyta, the angiosperms), which shows that Gnetales are more advanced in gymnosperms.

Answer 2

Gymnosperm is an advanced group than Pteridophytes and this critical distinction is because of the natural surroundings where they are developed.

How are gymnosperms advanced?

• Pteridophytes are adjusted to earthly conditions which are clammy and obscure while, Gymnosperms are completely adjusted to earthbound conditions.  
• Gymnosperms have an advanced root foundation and are made up of vascular tissues, whereas pteridophytes are divided into root systems, stalks, and leaflets.
• In pteridophytes, the main part of evolution i.e the seed is missing. Hence, gymnosperms are viewed as further developed.
• Pteridophytes require a watery medium for fertilization while Gymnosperms don't need it.
• Gymnosperms have wood lignin and stopper cambium, and are all the more fundamentally inflexible and thick whereas pteridophytes don't have wood or bark.
