Question

which of the following produces seeds without fruit ? A- Cycas B- Rice C-Fern

Answer 1

Seed producing plants are known as spermatophytes. They are evolutionary more advanced than, spore-producing plants such as pteridophytes (e.g. ferns) and bryophytes (e.g. mosses). Spermatophytes can be broadly divided into gymnosperms and angiosperms. Gymnosperms produce “naked” seeds, while angiosperms produce seeds enclosed in fruit. Cycads belong to the group; Gymnosperms, because they produce seeds without fruit, as is evident in the picture below. Thus the correct answer is A-Cycas.
