To determine which group vascular plants can be divided into based on the given options, you need to identify the characteristic that distinguishes them. Let's go through each option:
1. Color: This option does not provide a suitable criterion for dividing vascular plants into groups. Plants can have a wide range of colors and it is not a defining characteristic of plant groups.
2. The presence or absence of seeds: This is a valid characteristic to divide vascular plants into groups. Plants that produce seeds are called seed plants, while plants that do not produce seeds are referred to as non-seed plants. Therefore, this option is correct.
3. Size: The size of plants can vary greatly within each group and it is not a defining characteristic for grouping vascular plants. Different plant species within a group can have different sizes, so this option is not applicable.
4. The presence or absence of flowers: This is another valid characteristic to classify vascular plants into groups. Flowering plants, also known as angiosperms, are plants that produce flowers and fruits. Non-flowering plants, such as ferns and mosses, do not produce flowers. Therefore, this option is also correct.
In conclusion, the correct answers to the question are:
- The presence or absence of seeds.
- The presence or absence of flowers.
