Question

Roses and other broad-leaved flowering plants are examples of
A) monocots.
B) eudicots.
C) bryophytes.
D) pteridophytes.
E) gymnosperms.

Accepted Answer

Roses and other broad-leaved flowering plants belong to the eudicots, one of the two major clades of angiosperms (flowering plants). Eudicots are characterized by having two embryonic seed leaves (cotyledons), net-like veins in their leaves, and floral parts arranged in multiples of four or five. Monocots have one cotyledon, parallel veins in their leaves, and floral parts arranged in multiples of three. Bryophytes, pteridophytes, and gymnosperms are all non-flowering plants.
