Question

beans, peaches, and tomatoes are all in the same group of plants. what do these plants have in common? their seeds do not have cotyledons. they do not have vascular tissue. their seeds are not protected by fruit. they bear flowers and seeds.

Explanation:

Beans, peaches, and tomatoes are angiosperms (flowering plants). Angiosperms produce flowers, and their seeds develop enclosed within a fruit. Let's analyze each option:

1. All these plants have seeds with cotyledons (beans are dicots with 2, peaches/tomatoes are also dicots), so the first option is wrong.
2. They are all vascular plants with xylem and phloem, so the second option is wrong.
3. Their seeds are protected by fruit (beans in pods, peaches as fleshy fruit, tomatoes as fruit), so the third option is wrong.
4. As angiosperms, they all bear flowers and seeds, which is correct.

Answer:

They bear flowers and seeds.
