Question

The endosperm found in angiospermic seed is different from that of gymnosperm in the sense that in the former

• A. It is formed before fertilisation while latter is formed after fertilisation
• B. It is formed after fertilisation while latter is formed before fertilisation
• C. It is cellular while latter is nuclear
• D. It is nutritive while latter is protective

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

It is formed after fertilisation while latter is formed before fertilisation

Angiosperms are the flowering plants which have seeds that are encased inside an ovary (usually a fruit) whereas gymnosperms are non-flowering plants that have naked seeds on the surface of scales or leaves. The endosperm found in the angiosperm seed is formed after fertilization or during triploid fusion while the endosperm is formed before fertilization in the case of the gymnosperm.

So, the correct answer is option B.
