MDCAT Biology QUESTION #11293
Question 1
Gymnosperms are called 'naked-seeded' plants because their seeds:
  • Lack an embryo
  • Are not enclosed within an ovary/fruit✔️
  • Have no seed coat
  • Are produced without fertilization
Correct Answer Explanation
Gymnosperms produce seeds that are not enclosed within an ovary or fruit. The ovules are exposed on the surface of cone scales. In contrast, angiosperms have seeds enclosed within an ovary that develops into a fruit.
