What is it that makes gymnosperms and angiosperm unique?

Answer 1

Gymnosperms are non-flowering plants and are in phylum Coniferophyta (also known as Pinophyta). Instead of flowers, they have cones which evolved from reproductive structures called scales. Angiosperms are flowering plants and are in phylum Anthophyta (also known as Magnoliophyta). They are divided into two major groups, monocots and dicots. The reproductive structures are found in the flower parts.

Answer 2

Seeds develop inside fruit and embryo develop inside embryo sac instead of an archegonium. The xylem has true vessels and phloem has companion cells in Angiospems. These are the key features of Angiosperms.

Answer 3

Gymnosperms produce seeds that are not enclosed in a fruit, while angiosperms produce seeds enclosed within a fruit. This difference in seed development is a key distinguishing feature between the two groups of plants. Additionally, angiosperms are typically more diverse in terms of species and are the dominant group of plants on Earth today.

Answer 4

Angiosperms have a flower and fruit, gymnosperms don't have fruit
