Question

Assertion (A): Dicotyledons undergo epigeal type of germination.​

Reason (R): Endosperm forms nutritive tissue.

Directions: Choose the correct option:​
​

Answer 1

Correct answer: (b) Both assertion(A) and reason(R) are true, but reason(R) is not the correct explanation for assertion.​

• ​Dicots like peas and beans undergo epigeal type of germination. ​

• In epigeal germination, the hypocotyl grows several inches above the ground, carrying the cotyledons into the light, in which they become green and often leaflike.​

• Endosperm is a nutritive tissue that surrounds and nourishes the embryo in the seeds of angiosperms. ​

• Hence, the correct option is (b).​
