Given below is a diagram of T.S. of a monocot seed with parts I, II & III labelled :
Choose the option where parts I, II and III are identified correctly.
Given below is a diagram of T.S. of a monocot seed with parts I, II & III labelled :
Choose the option where parts I, II and III are identified correctly.
Show Hint
- I: Pericarp, II: Endosperm, III: Scutellum
- I: Pericarp, II: Endosperm, III: Coleorhiza
- I: Scutellum, II: Pericarp, III: Coleorhiza
- I: Coleorhiza, II: Scutellum, III: Pericarp
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 2: The large starchy storage tissue inside is the endosperm, which is labelled as II.
Step 3: The structure at the bottom, protecting the embryonic shoot, is the scutellum, labelled as III.
Thus, the correct identification is I: Pericarp, II: Endosperm, III: Scutellum.

- Select the statements that are true for outbreeding devices in the flowering plants.
- [(i)]
- They discourage cross-pollination and ensure self-pollination.
- They are advantageous as they lead to inbreeding depression.
- Self-incompatibility prevents self-pollen from fertilising the ovules.
- To prevent self-pollination in some species pollen release and stigma receptivity are not synchronised.
