While doing field research, two scientists discover a new species of plant. they take the plant back to their lab to watch how it grows and reproduces. soon, the plant begins to produce a small purple flower. upon further investigation, the scientists discover that the plant's seeds contain two embryonic leaves. which group could the plant belong to? check all that apply. bryophytes pteridophytes gymnosperms angiosperms monocots dicots

answer: angiosperms

dicots

angiosperms are highly evolved plants, they produce seeds which are enclosed within in a carple. these are the largest group of plants on earth. they include trees, shrubs, herbs and small flowering plants. angiosperms exhibit a flowering stage in their life cycle. the flower serves the function of reproduction and fruit formation in majority of angiosperms. dicot is the term used to describe flowering plants that have two seed leaves. dicots are plants which develop seeds which split into two parts called cotyledons. each cotyledon contains one embryo.

here, a small purple flower development indicates that the plant belongs to angiosperms and having two embryonic leaves indicates it belongs to dicots.
