Answer
Match List I with List II
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| A. Scutellum | I. Persistent nucellus |
| B. Non-albuminous seed | II. Cotyledon of Monocot seed |
| C. Epiblast | III. Groundnut |
| D. Perisperm | IV. Rudimentary cotyledon |
Correct Matches:
- A. Scutellum → II. Cotyledon of Monocot seed
- B. Non-albuminous seed → III. Groundnut
- C. Epiblast → IV. Rudimentary cotyledon
- D. Perisperm → I. Persistent nucellus
Explanation:
Scutellum: A single large cotyledon found in monocot seeds like maize, involved in nutrient absorption during germination.
Non-albuminous seed: These seeds lack residual endosperm. Groundnut is a typical example where the endosperm is fully consumed during development.
Epiblast: A rudimentary structure in monocot embryos, considered a vestige of the second cotyledon.
Perisperm: A nutritive tissue derived from the persistent nucellus, seen in seeds such as black pepper and beet.
Correct Option:
Option (1): A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
