Question

what trait do nonvascular plants and seedless vascular plants have in common?
they both reproduce using spores.
they both lack designated transport systems.
they both have segmented leaves.
they both produce fruits.

Explanation:

• Nonvascular plants (like mosses) reproduce via spores. Seedless vascular plants (such as ferns) also reproduce using spores.
• Nonvascular plants lack vascular tissues (xylem and phloem - designated transport systems), but seedless vascular plants have these transport systems.
• Segmented leaves are not a common trait for both groups.
• Neither nonvascular plants nor seedless vascular plants produce fruits (fruits are a characteristic of angiosperms).

Answer:

They both reproduce using spores.
