Question

Cotyledon in monocot is-

• A. Terminal in position
• B. Ventral
• C. Lateral in position
• D. Basal

Answer 1

Monocotyledonous embryos have a single cotyledon which is initiated very early. During development the differential growth in the cotyledon results in a lateral shoot apical meristem. Monocot contains one large shield-shaped cotyledons known as scutellum. Cotyledon is in apical/terminal position.
