Question

Dicots and monocots show similarity in embryogeny upto

• A. Mature embryo stage
• B. Heart-shaped embryo stage
• C. Globular embryo stage
• D. Cordate embryo stage

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Globular embryo stage

The development of an embryo from a zygote is termed as embryogenesis. Dicotyledons and monocotyledons show similarity in their stages of embryo development upto the globular embryo stage. Beyond this stage, further development of the embryo differentiates the two groups, with monocot embryo having one cotyledon and dicot embryo having two cotyledons.
