Question

multiple choice question
what is present in gymnosperms, but absent in pterophytes?
vascular tissues
leaves
seeds
flowers

Explanation:

Gymnosperms are seed - producing plants. Pterophytes (ferns) reproduce via spores and do not produce seeds. Both have vascular tissues and leaves. Gymnosperms do not have true flowers in the angiosperm sense, but the key difference here compared to pterophytes is the presence of seeds in gymnosperms.

Answer:

seeds
