Question

Match List - I with List II

List I	List II
A. Scutellum	II. Cotyledon of Monocot seed
B. Non-albuminous seed	IV. Rudimentary cotyledon
C. Epiblast	III. Groundnut
D. Perisperm	I. Persistent nucellus

• A. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
• B. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
• C. A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
• D. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

Hint:

Scutellum = Monocot cotyledon. Perisperm = Persistent nucellus.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

In monocot seeds, the scutellum functions as the sole cotyledon. Seeds lacking endosperm at maturity, such as groundnuts, are classified as non-albuminous. The epiblast represents a rudimentary cotyledon found in certain monocots. Perisperm consists of persistent nucellus tissue within specific seed types.
