Solution

The correct option is A Epistase
  • A few cells of the nucellar epidermis between embryo sac and micropyle become specialized to form epistase.
  • They are thick cutinized cells and often form a cap between megasporocyte and megagametophyte.
  • These cells persist for a longer period of time and their function is not clearly understood.
  • The group of specialized thickened nucellar cells between embryo sac and chalaza is hypostase. They provide nourishment to the growing embryo.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Epistase' .
