    In which of the following features, Cycas resembles with angiosperms?

    A)  Presence of vessels

    B)  Circinate vernation

    C)  Dichotomously branched leaves

    D)  Pollen tube is the carrier of male gametes

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Cycas resembles with angiosperm, due to presence of siphonogamy, ie, male gametes are carried to the female gametes through pollen tube. Vessels are present in xylem of angiosperm while absent in Cycas (gymnosperm). The young leaves of Cycas are circinately folded as those of fern but the angiospermic leaves are not circinately folded.
