Question

In the given figure, parts A, B, and C are sequentially

• A. Cotyledon, plumule, and radicle
• B. Plumule, radicle, and cotyledon
• C. Plumule, cotyledon, and radicle
• D. Radicle, cotyledon, and plumule

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Plumule, cotyledon, and radicle

The correct option is C.

Explanation of the correct option:

1. The plumule is a part of the seed embryo that develops into shoots when the seed germinates.
2. It gives rise to a new plant and small tender leaves arise from the seed embryo. It is positively phototropic and grows towards the sun.
3. The plumule is made up of the epicotyl, young leaves, and shoot apical meristem.
4. The cotyledon is an important part of the embryo present within the seed.
5. It is referred to as the storage unit of the seed and provided nutrients for the growing embryo.
6. Based on the number of cotyledons present, they are of two types - Monocotyledons and Dicotyledons.
7. Radicle is the primary root that appears when a seed germinates. It grows towards the soil and anchors the seedling.
8. It absorbs water and nutrients required for the development of the new plant.

Final answer: In the given figure, parts A, B, and C are sequentially Plumule, Cotyledon, and Radicle.
