    Conifers differ from grasses in the

    A)  production of seed from ovules

    B)  lack of xylem tracheids

    C)  absence of pollen tubes

    D)  formation of endosperm before fertilization

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Conifers (gymnosperms) differ from grasses (angiosperms) in the formation of endosperm before fertilisation.  In gymnosperms, as  endosperm is formed before fertilisation, thus it is a haploid tissue. While in angiosperms endosperm is formed as a result of double fertilisation (triple fusion) and is a triploid tissue(3n). In both angiosperms and gymnosperms, the seeds are produced from ovules. Xylem trachieds and pollen tube formation are also common in both classes.
