Question

Cycas is classified as a gymnosperm due to its
a) Motile sperms
b) Fruit formation
c) Naked ovule
d) Pycnoxylic wood

Answer 1

Cycas is a plant family that belongs to the Cycadophyta, a very old plant family that isn't related to palms, greeneries, trees, or any other modern plant species. Some cycads have tall, unbranched armour-like trunks, while others have partly buried stems with swollen (tuberous) trunks. On the stem, a large pith is surrounded by a small zone of soft woody tissue.

Complete answer:
Cycas is classified as a gymnosperm due to the presence of its ovule which is naked . All gymnosperms produce naked seed due to the naked ovule, which distinguishes them from angiosperms. Fruit and motile sperm are shared by gymnosperms and angiosperms. Cycas is a genus of 105 palm-like tropical and subtropical ornamental cycads (family Cycadaceae), with some trees reaching 12 metres in height (40 feet).
The stripped seed-bearing plants are known as gymnosperms. The presence of a bare seed indicates that the ovules are not completely encased by sporophytic tissue at the time of treatment. The majority of seed plants contain pollen, which contains and moves the sperm to treat the egg. Because pollen is impervious to parching, sperm can be transported across vast distances without drying up.
Gymnosperms (exposed seed plants) are divided into four phyla. Conifers, cycads, gingkoes, and gnetophytes are examples. Cycads produce pollen, but the sperm swims down the pollen tube using flagella. It is classified as a gymnosperm because it also has a bare seed.

Hence, Alternative C is now correct.

Note:
Cycads are slow-growing conservatory plants, but some can be grown outdoors in temperate climates (see Cycas). The starch from the stems of some cycads is edible after an alkaloid is extracted through thorough cooking. Young leaves and seeds of other species are also edible.
