Phloem in gymnosperms lacks:

  1. Albuminous cells and sieve cells
  2. Sieve tube only
  3. Companion cells only
  4. Both sieve tubes and companion cells

Correct answer: Both sieve tubes and companion cells

Solution

Gymnosperms do not have sieve tubes or companion cells; instead, their phloem contains sieve cells and albuminous cells. Therefore, the missing structures are both sieve tubes and companion cells.
