Question

Match the columns

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{1.Bean Seed}& \text{a. Monocotyledonous}\\ \text{2.Maize Seed}& \text{b. Future root}\\ \text{3.Plumule}& \text{c. Dicotyledonous}\\ \text{4.Radical}& \text{d.Future shoot}\end{array}$

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1- c,2 - a, 3 - b, 4 - d

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{1.Bean Seed}& \text{a.Dicotyledon}\\ \text{2.Maize Seed}& \text{b.Monocotyledonous}\\ \text{3.Plumule}& \text{c.Future shoot}\\ \text{4.Radical}& \text{d.Future root}\end{array}$

Maize seed is monocotyledonous, i.e., it has only one cotyledon while bean seeds are dicotyledonous, i.e., it has two cotyledons. Within a seed, the radical develops into the root system and the plumule grows into the shoot system.
