A dichotomous key for five organisms is given below.\n\n1a. Plant has vascular tissue … go to 2\n1b. Plant lacks vascular tissue … go to 3\n\n2a. Plant produces seeds … go to 4\n2b. Plant reproduces by spores … go to 5\n\n3a. Non‑vascular, has rhizoids and small leafy shoots … Moss\n3b. Non‑vascular, has a fruiting body and no chlorophyll … Mushroom\n\n4a. Seed is enclosed in a fruit … Angiosperm (e.g., Oak)\n4b. Seed is naked (no fruit) … Gymnosperm (e.g., Pine)\n\n5a. Frond is large, divided, with sori on the underside … Fern\n5b. Frond is small, simple, no sori … (none of the listed organisms)\n\nUsing this key, identify the classification of an unknown plant that (i) has vascular tissue, (ii) reproduces by spores, and (iii) possesses large, divided fronds with sori on the underside.
