Which one of the following pairs of plants are not seed producers?
- Fern and Funaria
- Funaria and Ficus
- Ficus and Chlamydomonas
- Funaria and Pinus
Answer
(1) Fern and Funaria
Solution
Seeds are produced only by gymnosperms and angiosperms (spermatophytes).
⇒ Fern is a pteridophyte and Funaria is a moss (bryophyte); both reproduce by spores.
∵ Ficus is an angiosperm and Pinus is a gymnosperm ⇒ both produce seeds.
∴ Fern and Funaria are not seed producers.
