    • The main difference between monocots (monocotyledons) and dicots (dicotyledons) is the number of cotyledons in their seeds, one and two respectively.
    • Angiosperms are a group of plants that produce seeds enclosed within a carpel.
    • Sexual reproduction in plants involves the union of pollen and egg from two parents, resulting in seeds.
    • Monocots are characterized by leaves with parallel veins.
    • Gymnosperms are distinguished from angiosperms by their naked seeds, whereas angiosperms have seeds enclosed in a carpel.
    • The result of sexual propagation is the production of seeds.
