The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided: **Assertion**: Angiosperms produce seeds, but do not produce fruits. **Reason**: Fruit and seed formation occurs in Gymnosperms. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Angiosperms**: - Angiosperms are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within a fruit. The term "angio" means vessel, and "sperma" refers to seeds. Therefore, angiosperms are characterized by the presence of flowers and fruits. 2. **Analyzing the Assertion**: - The assertion states that angiosperms produce seeds but do not produce fruits. This is incorrect because angiosperms are defined by their ability to produce both seeds and fruits. The seeds develop within the ovary of the flower, which matures into fruit. 3. **Understanding Gymnosperms**: - Gymnosperms, on the other hand, are a group of plants that produce seeds that are not enclosed in fruits. The term "gymno" means naked, indicating that their seeds are exposed. 4. **Analyzing the Reason**: - The reason states that fruit and seed formation occurs in Gymnosperms. This is also incorrect because while gymnosperms do produce seeds, they do not produce fruits. Instead, their seeds are often found on cones or exposed on the surface of other structures. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason provided in the question are incorrect. Angiosperms produce both seeds and fruits, while gymnosperms produce seeds but do not produce fruits. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. ---
