Which statement accurately describes the difference between artificial and natural systems of classification?
1. Artificial systems utilize genetic similarities, whereas natural systems use morphological characteristics.
2. Artificial systems classify organisms based on a few characteristics, while natural systems consider a large number of characteristics.
3. Artificial systems classify organisms based on evolutionary relationships, while natural systems focus on ecological roles.
4. Artificial systems are based on observable characteristics, while natural systems are more theoretical.

Unlike in bryophytes and pteridophytes, in gymnosperms:
1. vascular bundles are not present and hence they are limited to shady and moist habitats.
2. water is needed for fertilisation and seed formation does not take place.
3. all members are homosporous.
4. the male and female gametophytes do not have an independent free-living existence.
