Question

A seed which does not require oxygen for germination is

• A. Pea
• B. Rice
• C. Typha
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both B and C

All seeds need water, oxygen, and proper temperature in order to germinate. Some seeds require proper light also. Some germinate better in full light while others require darkness to germinate. Rice seeds and typha seeds are able to germinate anaerobically by means of coleoptile elongation. Pea seeds require oxygen to germinate. So, the correct answer is ‘Both B and C’.
