| I: | the ovules are not enclosed by any ovary wall and remain exposed, both before and after fertilisation. |
| II: | the male and the female gametophytes do not have an independent free-living existence. |
Conifers are adapted to tolerate extreme environmental conditions because of

| Column-I | Column-II | ||

| 1. | Both reproduce sexually through seeds. |
| 2. | Pteridophytes have a well-developed vascular system, whereas gymnosperms do not. |
| 3. | Pteridophytes reproduce through spores, while gymnosperms reproduce through seeds. |
| 4. | Both are non-flowering plants that reproduce asexually. |
Unlike bryophytes and pteridophytes, in gymnosperms:
| 1. | the male and female gametophytes do not have an independent existence |
| 2. | the vascular tissue is poorly developed |
| 3. | the reproduction is dependent on water in most cases |
| 4. | the plants bodies are clearly differentiated into root, stem and leaves |
| 1. | Pteridophyte | 2. | Monocot angiosperm |
| 3. | Dicot angiosperm | 4. | Gymnosperm |
