Biology Question on Post-Fertilisation : Structures And Events
Non-endospermous seeds are found in
A
bean
B
gram
C
pea
D
All of these
Answer
All of these
Explanation
Solution
Seed is fertilised and ripened ovule, consisting a dormant embryo reserve food for its future development and protective covering. The seed which store their food in endosperm are called endospermic or endospermous seed or albuminous seed, e.g., castor, ruber, maize, etc. The seeds where food reserve is present in cotyledons are called non-endospermic or exalbuminous seeds, e.g., bean, gram, pea, Sagittaria and orchids (smallest seed). Perispermic seeds contain reserve food in persistent nucellsus.
