Question

Assertion : Gymnosperms do not produce fruit. Reason : Ovules of gymnosperms are enclosed within the ovaries.\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(c) : The gymnosperms are plants in which the ovules are not enclosed by any ovary wall and remain exposed, both before and after fertilisation. The seeds that develop post-fertilisation, are not covered, i.e., are naked. After fertilisation, zygote develops into an embryo and ovules into naked seeds.
