In which one of the following, the ovules are not enclosed by an ovary wall and remain exposed ?
- A Funaria
- B Pinus
- C Selaginella
- D Wolffia
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Pinus
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) Pinus
Gymnosperms are plants in which the ovules are not enclosed by any ovary wall and remain exposed, both before and after fertilization.
Pinus is a gymnosperm, so its ovules are naked and remain exposed.
Funaria is a bryophyte and Selaginella is a pteridophyte, both of which do not produce ovules or seeds.
Wolffia is an angiosperm, in which the ovules are enclosed within an ovary wall.
