Solution

The correct option is A

pea


The correct option is A

Explanation of the correct option:

  1. Hypogeal germination is the type of germination, in which the seed remains inside the soil.
  2. This is due to the fact that the epicotyl elongates faster than the hypocotyl so that the cotyledons remain inside the soil.
  3. For example, wheat, rice, maize, pea, groundnut, mango, etc.

Explanation of the incorrect option:

Option B:

  1. Bean shows epigeal germination.
  2. The cotyledons are pushed upwards above the soil into the air due to the rapid growth and elongation of the hypocotyl.

Option C:

  1. Castor shows epigeal germination.
  2. The cotyledons are pushed upwards above the soil into the air due to the rapid growth and elongation of the hypocotyl.

Option D:

  1. Papaya shows epigeal germination.
  2. The cotyledons are pushed upwards above the soil into the air due to the rapid growth and elongation of the hypocotyl.
