Which of the following is a characteristic feature of gymnosperms?

  • The gymnosperms are homosporous

B.

The male and female gametophytes do not have independent free living existence

The gymnosperms are heterosporous. The male and female gametophytes do not have independent free living existance. Ovules are not enclosed by ovary, in gymnosperms. Pollengrains released from microsporangium. The diploid sporophyte is dominant.
