Question

In the diagram of a bean seed shown alongside, some parts are indicated by alphabets; Choose the option with the correctly matched pair.

• A. A = radicle, B = endosperm, C = plumule, D = coleoplite
• B. A = plumule, B = endosperm, C = radicle, D = hypocotyl
• C. A = plumule, B = cotyledon, C = hypocotyl, D = radicle
• D. A = cotyledons, B = endosperm, C = hypocotyl, D = radical

Answer 1

The correct option is C

A = plumule, B = cotyledon, C = hypocotyl, D = radicle

A = plumule, B = cotyledon, C = hypocotyl, D = radicle. Plumule is the embryonic shoot which gives rise to the aerial parts of the plant. Radicle grows into the soil and forms the root system. Cotyledons are embryonic leaves and also store food. The hypocotyl is the stem of a germinating seedling, found below the cotyledons (seed leaves) and above the radicle (root).
