Question 9 • FL-2000310-Biology 1 Sem 2

A botanist has discovered a new plant species and is trying to classify the plant. Its seed has one cotyledon, it has six flower parts, its leaves have parallel veins, its stem is herbaceous, and the vascular bundles in its stem are scattered throughout the stem. Which best classifies this plant?

Answer
A
gymnosperm and dicot
B
gymnosperm and monocot
C
angiosperm and monocot
D
angiosperm and dicot

Explanation

A seed with one cotyledon, leaves with parallel veins, and vascular bundles scattered through the stem are characteristic of a monocot. Flowering plants are angiosperms, and having six flower parts also fits the usual monocot pattern of flower parts in multiples of three. So the plant is an angiosperm and monocot.
