Reason : Ovules of gymosperms are enclosed within the ovaries.

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false
• D. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The gymnosperms are plants in which the ovules are not enclosed by any ovary wall and remain exposed, both before and after fertilisation. The seeds that develop post fertilisation, are not covered, i.e., are naked. After fertilisation, zygote develops into an embryo and ovules into naked seeds.
