MCQ
An example of a seed with endoperm, perisperm and caruncle is:
- ACotton
- BCoffee
- CLily
- DCastor
Explanation:
Castor bean seeds contain an elaiosome (caruncle) which are fleshy structures that are attached to seeds of many plant species.
They are rich in lipids and proteins that attract ants, which disperse the seed (myrmecochory).
Castor bean seeds are endospermic which means, the endosperm is the major storage tissue.
In perispermic seeds (castor), diploid maternal food storage tissue originates from the nucellus.
