Q. Read the following statements and find out the incorrect statement.

a. Embryo development precedes endosperm development.
b. Though the seeds differ greatly the early stages of embryo development (embryogeny) are similar in both monocotyledons and dicotyledons.
c. A typical dicotyledonous embryo consists of an embryonal axis and two cotyledons.
d. Endosperm may either be completely consumed by the developing embryo (e.g., castor and coconut) before seed maturation or it may persist in the mature seed (e.g., wheat, rice, maize, pea, groundnut and beans).
e. The coconut water from tender coconut is cellular endosperm and the surrounding while kernel is the nuclear endosperm.

Q. Assertion :In Cocos nucifera, coconut water represents the cellular endosperm and the surrounding white kernel represents the free-nuclear endosperm. Reason: Endosperm is always completely consumed by developing embryo before seed maturation.

Q. Endosperm is consumed completely by developing embryo in the seeds of

Q. Read the following statements related to embryogeny in plants and select the incorrect statements.

I. The early stages of embryo development are different in monocotyledons and dicotyledons.
II. Most zygotes divide only after a certain amount of endosperm is formed to ensure nutrition to the developing embryo.
III. Endosperm is completely consumed by developing embryos before seed maturation in coconut.
IV. The zygote gives rise to the proembryo and subsequently to the globular, heart-shaped and mature embryo.

Q. Endosperm is completely consumed by the developing embryo in
