Pinus differs from mango in having

Correct answer: C. Ovules not nclosed in ovary

  • A. Tree habit
  • B. Green leaves
  • C. Ovules not nclosed in ovary
  • D. Wood

Explanation

a.Tree Habit: Both Pinus and mango are trees, so this is a common feature, and they share the tree habit. b. Green Leaves: Both Pinus and mango have green leaves, although the specific characteristics of their leaves may differ. c. Ovules not Enclosed in Ovary: This is the key difference. Pinus is a gymnosperm, and in gymnosperms like Pinus, the ovules are not enclosed in an ovary. Instead, they are exposed on the surface of cone scales. In contrast, mango is an angiosperm, and in angiosperms, ovules are enclosed within an ovary, which eventually develops into a fruit. d. Wood: Both Pinus and mango trees have woody stems, so this is another common feature. So, the most significant difference is the fact that Pinus has ovules that are not enclosed in an ovary (characteristic of gymnosperms), whereas mango has ovules enclosed within an ovary (characteristic of angiosperms).
