Question:
Which one of the following is the characteristic feature of gymnosperms?
Which one of the following is the characteristic feature of gymnosperms?
Show Hint
Gymnosperm = "naked seed." Angiosperm = "vessel seed" (enclosed in a fruit).
Updated On: May 4, 2025
- Seeds are naked.
- Seeds are absent.
- Gymnosperms have flowers for reproduction.
- Seeds are enclosed in fruits.

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Gymnosperms are seed-bearing plants, but their seeds are not enclosed within an ovary or fruit. Instead, the seeds are exposed on the surface of cone scales or similar structures. This "naked seed" characteristic is the defining feature of gymnosperms, distinguishing them from angiosperms (flowering plants), whose seeds are enclosed in fruits.

- Two identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is \(q\) and the force of repulsion between them is \(F\).
