Question

question 21 which of the following best describes angiosperms? a they produce pollen grains and ovules in cones b they reproduce through spores instead of seeds c they produce seeds which are encased by an outer layer such as fruit

Explanation:

To determine the correct description of angiosperms, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Producing pollen and ovules in cones is a characteristic of gymnosperms, not angiosperms. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: Reproducing through spores is a feature of non - seed plants like ferns, while angiosperms reproduce via seeds. So B is incorrect.
• Option C: Angiosperms are known as flowering plants. They produce seeds that are enclosed within a fruit (the outer layer). This is the defining characteristic of angiosperms.

Answer:

C. They produce seeds which are encased by an outer layer such as fruit
