Top-shaped multiciliate male gametes and the mature seed which bears only one embryo with two cotyledons, are characteristic features of :
- polypetalous angiosperms
- gamopetalous angiosperms
- conifers
- cycads
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Cycads are a group of seed plants known for these characteristics, which distinguish them from other plant groups like angiosperms (both polypetalous and gamopetalous) and conifers.
So, the correct option is (D): cycads

Questions Asked in NEET exam
- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Fig fruit is a non-vegetarian fruit as it has enclosed fig wasps in it.
Statement II: Fig wasp and fig tree exhibit a mutual relationship as the fig wasp completes its life cycle in the fig fruit and the fig fruit gets pollinated by the fig wasp. - A wire of resistance \(R\) is cut into 8 equal pieces. From these pieces, two equivalent resistances are made by adding four of these together in parallel. Then these two are added in series. The net effective resistance of the combination is:

- An oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litre has 18.20 moles of oxygen. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, its gauge pressure drops to 11 atmospheric pressure at temperature \(27^\circ\)C. The mass of the oxygen withdrawn from the cylinder is nearly equal to: [Given, \(R = \frac{100}{12} \text{ J mol}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}\), and molecular mass of \(O_2 = 32 \text{ g/mol}\), 1 atm pressure = \(1.01 \times 10^5 \text{ N/m}^2\)]

Three identical heat conducting rods are connected in series as shown in the figure. The rods on the sides have thermal conductivity 2K while that in the middle has thermal conductivity K. The left end of the combination is maintained at temperature 3T and the right end at T. The rods are thermally insulated from outside. In steady state, temperature at the left junction is \(T_1\) and that at the right junction is \(T_2\). The ratio \(T_1 / T_2\) is

Concepts Used:
Gymnosperms
Gymnosperms are flowerless plants that produce cones and seeds. It literally means "naked seed". They sit exposed on the surface of leaf-like structures called bracts. Gymnosperms are vascular plants of the subkingdom Embyophyta and include conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, and gnetophytes. They are abundant in temperate forest and boreal forest biomes with species that can tolerate moist or dry conditions.
Characteristics of Gymnosperms
- They do not produce flowers.
- Seeds are not formed inside a fruit.
- They are found in colder regions where snowfall occurs.
- They form cones with reproductive structures.
- Xylem does not have vessels and the phloem and it has no companion cells and sieve tubes.
