Identify the correct statements about the angiospermic embryo. i. The scutellum is centrally placed in monocots. ii. Plumule is the stem tip and radicle is the root tip in dicots. iii. Coleorrhiza is part of the hypocotyl in monocots. iv. Monocotyledonous zygote gives rise to a globular heart-shaped embryo.
Options
- Ai and iii
- Bii and iv
- Cii and iii
- Diii and iv
Correct answer
C. ii and iii
Step-by-step solution
Scutellum/cotyledon is situated laterally in monocots. Cotyledons are centrally placed in dicots. Plumule is the stem tip and radicle is the root tip in dicots.
