Question

An Example of monocot plant
A. Coconut
B. Almond
C. Sunflower
D. Mango

Answer 1

This tree is also included in the family of a palm tree. It is a monocotyledon. It is also referred to as the tree of life. It provides food, fuel, cosmetics, and many other uses. It is from the kingdom of Plantae. The only living species of the genus is cocos.

Complete answer:
Monocotyledons are the classification of the flowering plant. Unlike the dicotyledons and monocotyledons are both characterized by only one embryonic leaf. It constitutes one of the main groups into which the flowering plants traditionally have been divided and the rest of the flowering plants having twice cotyledons and it is also classified as dicotyledons also called as dicots. Its scientific classification is from the kingdom of Plantae, its clade is monocots. Monocotyledons are always considered to be a group but with various taxonomic ranks. The monocots plants are a single cotyledon. These plants have a fibrous root system, leaves in the monocots have parallel venation.
The coconut is included in the family of the palm tree, so there are no branches and there is no secondary growth. The coconut palm is a woody perennial monocotyledon with the trunk and is the stem. So, the coconut is monotypic with one species called Nucifera.
The embryo of monocotyledons mostly possesses only one large cotyledon that is called scutellum. It is generally a shield shape and it is located towards a side of the embryo axis. In the monocotyledon seed, the endosperm is covered by a protein layer called the aleurone layer. So, A is the correct option.

Now, the incorrect options:
Begin with option B: mostly almonds and cashews are dicotyledons or it is a dicot seed, so it is the wrong answer.
For option C: Sunflower is also a dicot. It is not a monocot plant because it has two veins. So it is the wrong answer.
For option D: dicots have two cotyledons so mango is also a dicot plant, so it is the wrong answer.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note: The majority of the monocotyledons seeds are known to be albuminous seeds, that is they have thick and swollen endosperms for their nourishment. This endosperm is not completely consumed during embryo development, but also in the nourishing the tissues of seeds, however, some monocotyledons like orchids and they show exceptions. Some of the examples of monocots are onion, banana and garlic.
