Num.GymnospermsAngiosperms
1.Naked seed i.e. seeds not enclosed within a fruit.Seeds are enclosed with fruit walls (cotyledons).
2.Flowers are represented as unisexual cones which produce spores. Microspores are anthers while megaspores are ovules.
3. Ovules not located in ovary Ovules present inside an ovary.
4. Examples: Pines, Cycas, Deodar etc. Examples: Sunflower, Maize, Wheat, Pea, bean etc.
