The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the characteristic features of a plant with top-shaped multiciliate male gametes and a mature seed that bears only one embryo with two cotyledons, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Key Features**: The question highlights two main features: - Top-shaped multiciliate male gametes. - A mature seed with one embryo and two cotyledons. 2. **Analyze the Options**: The options provided are: - Polybutylase angiosperms - Gangopatallic angiosperms - Conifers - Cycads 3. **Examine Cycads**: - Cycads are a group of gymnosperms known for their unique reproductive structures. - They produce the largest male gametes, which are often visible to the naked eye and are typically oval or top-shaped. - The male gametes of cycads are multiciliate, meaning they have multiple flagella or cilia. 4. **Seed Characteristics**: - After fertilization, cycads produce seeds that contain one embryo. - The mature seeds of cycads have two cotyledons, which are the embryonic leaves. 5. **Confirm All Conditions**: - The male gametes are top-shaped and multiciliate: **Condition Met**. - The mature seed has one embryo with two cotyledons: **Condition Met**. 6. **Conclusion**: Since all the characteristics mentioned in the question are fulfilled by cycads, we conclude that the correct answer is: - **Cycads** (Option 4). ### Final Answer: The characteristic features described in the question are indicative of **Cycads**. ---
