Question:
What are the characteristic differences found in the vascular tissue of gymnosperms and angiosperms?
Solution:
In vascular tissues of gymnosperms, vessels are absent in Xylem instead they have tracheids. Companion cells are absent in phloem instead they have albuminous cells.
In vascular tissue of angiosperms, vessels are present in xylem and lack tracheids. Companion cells are present in phloem and they lack albuminous cells.
