Question

As a part of the life cycle of plants, the plant must begin with an embryo. What statement best describes where the embryo can be found in flowering and non-flowering plants?

In a flowering plant, the embryo is in seeds found in the flower, and in non-flowering plants, the embryo is in seeds found in the cone.
In a non-flowering plant, the embryo is in spores found in the stem, and in a flowering plant, the embryo is in seeds found in the flower.
In a non-flowering plant, the embryo is in seeds in the leaves, and in a flowering plant, the embryo is in seeds found in the spores.
In a flowering plant, the embryo is in spores found in the flower, and in a non-flowering plant, the embryo is in seeds found in the spores.

Answer 1

In a flowering plant, the embryo is in seeds found in the flower, and in non-flowering plants, the embryo is in seeds found in the cone.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know, plants can be of the angiosperm type (they have flowers and fruits) and gymnosperms (they don't have flowers or fruits). These two groups are very different in anatomy and structure and have very different life cycles. In general, we can say that the embryo of these two types of plants are found inside the seeds, but the seeds are produced in different ways. In angiosperms, the seeds are found within the fruits that were produced by the flowers. In gymnosperms, on the other hand, the seeds are found in the cones, which are the reproductive organs of these plants.
