NEET Botany Seed & Fruit Development MCQ Question
Which combination of statements about seed structure and development is correct?
A dicot seed has two cotyledons, while a monocot seed features a single scutellum.
The hilum is the part of the seed coat through which the embryo connects to the ovule.
The endosperm in a monocot seed is generally absent and does not store food.
The seed coat consists of three layers: testa, tegmen, and aleurone layer.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
A dicot seed indeed has two cotyledons, while a monocot seed has a scutellum that acts as a single cotyledon. The hilum is the scar where the seed was attached, not where the embryo connects to the ovule. Monocot seeds have endosperm that stores food, and the seed coat consists of two layers, not three.
