You're right about the previous question... :) ... but I don't think the answer to this one has anything to do with fruit. Fruits and flowers are exclusively an angiosperm thing. Flowers are obvious (angiosperms are often referred to as flowering plants), but with fruit, you need to know where it comes from. I'm going to try and draw a picture, but I'm not sure how clear it'll be: |dw:1337111462621:dw| Gymnosperms don't have structures like this. Their seeds are "naked", so... not enclosed on all sides like Angiosperm seeds. And gymnosperms don't build fruits.
