Describe how Gnetum resembles angiosperms in many respects?

Gnetum, a genus of gymnosperms, exhibits several characteristics that resemble angiosperms in various aspects. While gymnosperms and angiosperms are traditionally considered distinct plant groups, Gnetum shares certain features with angiosperms, highlighting some convergent evolutionary traits.

1. Seed Enclosure:
   One of the notable similarities between Gnetum and angiosperms is the development of seeds within a protective structure. Unlike most gymnosperms, where seeds are typically exposed on cone scales, Gnetum seeds are enclosed within a fleshy, brightly colored, and often edible seed coat. This is reminiscent of the seed structure found in many angiosperms, where seeds are enclosed within fruits. The protective seed coat in Gnetum serves a function similar to that of the fruit in angiosperms, _______ _____ ____ _______ ________.
