Question

The seed coat is formed from which of the following structure(s)

• A. Integuments
• B. Endosperm
• C. Ovary
• D. Residues of sepals

Answer 1

The correct option is A Integuments

A seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering. The formation of the seed is part of the process of reproduction in seed plants, the spermatophytes, including the gymnosperm and angiosperm plants. The maturing ovule undergoes marked changes in the integuments, generally a reduction and disorganisation but occasionally a thickening. The seed coat formed from the two integuments or outer layers of cells of the ovule, which derive from tissue from the mother plant, the inner integument forms the tegmen and the outer forms the testa

So, the correct answer is 'integuments'
