Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the basic definitions of gymnosperms and angiosperms. Gymnosperms are a group of seed-producing plants that include conifers, cycads, and ginkgo. Angiosperms are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within a fruit.
Identify the structures listed in the problem: seeds, vascular tissue, flowers, and fruits. Consider which of these structures are present in both gymnosperms and angiosperms.
Recall that seeds are a common feature of both gymnosperms and angiosperms. Seeds are the reproductive structures that contain the embryo of the plant, allowing it to grow into a new plant.
Consider vascular tissue, which is another structure common to both gymnosperms and angiosperms. Vascular tissue includes xylem and phloem, which are responsible for transporting water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant.
Recognize that flowers and fruits are unique to angiosperms. Gymnosperms do not produce flowers or fruits; instead, they have cones or other structures for reproduction.
