Match List I with List II. List I List II A. Perisperm I. Wall of the fruit B. Pericarp II. Encloses the shoot apex C. Testa III. Remnant of nucellus D. Coleoptile IV. Outer seed coat Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Step-by-step solution

The correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II. Perisperm (A) is the residual, persistent nucellus found in certain seeds like black pepper and beet (Matches with III). Pericarp (B) is the wall of the fruit that develops from the wall of the ovary after fertilization (Matches with I). Testa (C) is the outer layer of the seed coat, which develops from the outer integument of the ovule (Matches with IV). Coleoptile (D) is a hollow foliar structure in monocot embryos that encloses the shoot apex and leaf primordia (Ma
