Question:medium

Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : Mature corn seed is exalbuminous.
Statement (II) : A full-grown corn embryo contains a single cotyledon within it.

Show Hint

Remember:
- Cereals (Corn, Rice, Wheat): Monocots with endospermic/albuminous seeds (large endosperm remains at maturity).
- Legumes (Peas, Beans): Dicots with non-endospermic/exalbuminous seeds (endosperm is completely absorbed, nutrients stored in two cotyledons).
