NEET Botany Fruit & Seed MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the structure of seeds is correct?
The seed coat consists of two layers: the outer testa and the inner tegmen.
The hilum is the main part of the embryo located at the seed's center.
Cotyledons serve as the primary storage organ for the embryo's nutrients.
The micropyle is an external structure that protects the seed from pests.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The seed coat indeed consists of two layers: the outer testa and the inner tegmen, as described in the NCERT context. The hilum is a scar on the seed coat, not part of the embryo, and the micropyle is a small pore above the hilum, not an external protective structure.
