Question

In exalbuminous seeds, there is :

• A. Non formation of endosperm
• B. Abundant formation of endosperm
• C. Abundant protein
• D. Consumption of endosperm during development of speed

Answer 1

The correct option is D Consumption of endosperm during development of speed

Seed store reserve food for the use of embryo at the time of germination in their cotyledons or in endosperm.

The seeds, which store food materials in their cotyledons are called non- endospermic or exalbuminous seeds( e.g., Gram, Pea).

The seeds, which store food materials in endosperm are called endospermic or albuminous seeds( e.g., Castor, Maize).

So, the correct answer is 'Consumption of endosperm during development of embryo'.
