Question

Match the columns and select the correct combination.

	Column I		Column II
(a)	Ovule	1.	Endosperm
(b)	Funiculus	2.	Aril
(c)	Nucellus	3.	Seed
(d)	Polar nuclei	4.	Perisperm

• A. a- 3, b- 2, c- 1, d- 4
• B. a- 3, b- 2, c- 4, d- 1
• C. a- 1, b- 2, c- 3, d- 4
• D. a- 2, b- 3, c- 1, d- 4

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

a- 3, b- 2, c- 4, d- 1

• After fertilisation has occurred in the ovule, the ovule gets transformed into seed.

• Aril is a fleshy seed appendage which arise from the funiculus. It surrounds the ovule in the post fertilisation stages.

• After fertilization, the nucellus persists in the seed in the form of perisperm.

• Polar nuclei on fusion with the male gamete form a triploid primary endosperm mother cell which develops into endosperm.

Hence, the correct match is a- 3, b- 2, c- 4, d- 1

So, the correct answer is B.
