    B) lack of xylem tracheids

    C) absence of pollen tubes   

    D) formation of endosperm before fertilization

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] The conifers (gymnosperm) differ from the grasses (angiosperm) in the formation of endosperm before fertilization. In fact, in gyrnnosperms, the endosperm is formed, before die fertilization, thus, it is a haploid tissue while in angiosperms, endosperm is formed after fertilization as a result of triple fusion or double fertilization, thus, it is a triploid tissue.
                    In both conifers and grasses seeds are produced from ovules.
                    Xylem tracheids are present in both conifers and grasses.
                    Pollen tubes are also formed in both conifers and grasses.
