Which statement about gymnosperms and angiosperms is FALSE?

A) Both groups produce seeds.
B) Both groups are heterosporous.
C) Both groups possess vascular tissues.
D) In both groups, the sporophyte generation is dominant.
E) Both groups have free-living gametophytes.

Heterosporous

Referring to plants that produce two types of spores, microspores which develop into male gametophytes and megaspores which develop into female gametophytes.

Vascular Tissues

Specialized structures in plants that conduct water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the organism.

Free-Living Gametophytes

Independent gametophyte plants that do not depend on the sporophyte generation for their lifecycle, typical in some plant groups such as bryophytes.
