Why are gymnosperms so called, and state two features of the group.
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
They are so called because their ovules and the seeds that develop from them are naked, not enclosed in an ovary or fruit. They are mostly woody perennials with well-developed vascular tissue but no vessels in the xylem and no companion cells in the phloem, and they bear cones rather than flowers.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
Cycas, Pinus and Ginkgo are examples.
