NEET Botany Seed & Fruit Development MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about seed and fruit development is correct?
A seed consists of a seed coat and an embryo, which includes a radicle and cotyledons.
The hilum is a part of the embryo that connects to the endosperm.
All seeds have a fibrous mesocarp regardless of the fruit type.
The micropyle is located at the base of the seed coat and functions in nutrient absorption.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
A seed is indeed made up of a seed coat and an embryo, which consists of a radicle and, depending on the type, one or two cotyledons. 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 at the base of the seed coat.
