In some seeds, the remnants of nucellus are persistent. Select the option that correctly represents such seeds.

Step-by-step solution

In some seeds, the remnants of the nucellus are persistent. This residual, persistent nucellus is called the perisperm. Examples of seeds with perisperm include black pepper and beet. Pea and groundnut are non-endospermous (exalbuminous) seeds, where the endosperm is completely consumed during embryo development. Maize, wheat, castor, and coconut are endospermous (albuminous) seeds, which retain a part of the endosperm as it is not completely used up during embryo development. Answer: Black pepper and beet
