GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
Solution:
A typical dicotyledonous seed (e.g., pea, bean) consists of:
- Seed coat (testa and tegmen)
- Hilum (scar of attachment)
- Micropyle (small pore)
- Two cotyledons (food storage)
- Embryonal axis with:
- Plumule (future shoot)
- Radicle (future root)
Note: Most dicot seeds are non-endospermic (exalbuminous) as food is stored in cotyledons.
