Read the following and answer any four questions from $(i)$ to $(v)$ given below:
The endosperm makes the main source of food for the embryo. Generally the endosperm nucleus divides after the division of the oospore, but in several cases the endosperm is formed to a great extent even before the first division of the oospore. There are three general types of endosperm formation: $(a)$ nuclear type, $(b)$ cellular type and $(c)$ helobial type. The endosperm is usually triploid, but haploid endosperm is also found. Endosperm may either be completely consumed by the developing embryo before seed maturation, or it may persist in the mature seed.
  1. Haploid endosperm is found in :
  1. Pin us.
  2. Cauliflower.
  3. Sunflower.
  4. Pea.
  1. Persistent endosperm is found in:
$P$. Pea $Q$. Castor $R$. Bean $S.$ Coconut $T$. Groundnut.

Read the following and answer any four questions from $(i)$ to $(v)$ given below:
Embryo develops at the micropylar end of the embryo sac, where the zygote is situated. Most zygotes divided only after certain amount of endosperm is formed. The early stages of embryo development are similar in both monocotyledons and dicotyledons. The zygote gives rise to the proembryo and subsequently to the globular heart-shaped and mature embryo. A typical dicotyledonous embryo consists of an embryonal axis and two cotyledons. Embryo of monocotyledons possess only one cotyledon.
  1. True embryo develops as a result of fusion of:
  1. Two polar nuclei of embryo sac.
  2. An egg cell and a male gamete.
  3. Synergid and male gamete.
  4. A male gamete and antipodals.
