Solution
The correct option is C both a and b
A typical mature seed has one or two cotyledons, an embryo and a protective seed coat.
Cotyledons are thick swollen structures found in seeds, which act as the stores of food reserves. The seeds of dicots have two cotyledons and that of monocots have a single cotyledon.
Embryo develops into a new plant upon the germination of the seed.
Seed coat provides protection to the embryo.
Mature seeds may or may not have residual endosperm.
The seeds in which the residual endosperm is present are called albuminous seeds. Castor, maize and barley are examples of plants with albuminous seeds.
The seeds in which there is no residual endosperm as it is completely used up by the embryo during its development are called ex-albuminous seeds. Pea and groundnut are examples of plants with ex-albuminous seeds.
