Question

Coconut water from a tender coconut is

• A. Degenerated nucellus.
• B. Immature embryo.
• C. Free nuclear endosperm.
• D. Innermost layers of the seed out.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Free nuclear endosperm.

Tender coconut water is a clear liquid found inside of the young tender coconut. During the nuclear phase of the development, it provides as a termination for the endosperm of the coconut. In the nuclear endosperm formation, free-nuclear divisions are repeatedly done; if a cell wall is developed it will form after free-nuclear divisions. Commonly referred to as liquid endosperm. Coconut water from a tender coconut is an example of this process i.e, free nuclear endosperm.

So, the correct answer is option C.
