Question

First scientist to study development of angiosperm embryo was

• A. Strasburger
• B. Flemming
• C. Hanstein
• D. Hofmeister

Answer 1

The correct option is A Strasburger

Hofmeister (1849) was the first to trace the formation of an embryo, from the egg up to its maturity in the seed. He gave detailed observations about the origin of the embryo from a cell of the embryo sac. Thus, it was Hofmeister who studied the development of an embryo in Angiosperms for the first time.

So, the correct answer is D.
