Match List I with List II :
| List I | List II | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| A. | Scutellum | I. | Persistent nucellus |
| B. | Non-albuminous seed | II. | Cotyledon of Monocot seed |
| C. | Epiblast | III. | Groundnut |
| D. | Perisperm | IV. | Rudimentary cotyledon |
Choose the option with all correct matches.
Correct Answer :
A-II, B- III, C-IV, D-I
Solution :
**Matching the terms**
1. Scutellum (A) – The scutellum is a specialized cotyledon found in monocotyledonous seeds. It functions as a nutrient‑absorbing organ during germination. Therefore, it correctly matches II – Cotyledon of Monocot seed.
2. Non‑albuminous seed (B) – In non‑albuminous seeds, the storage tissue is not derived from the albumen but from other parts of the seed, such as the perisperm or endosperm. Groundnut (III) is a classic example of a non‑albuminous seed, making this the correct pair.
3. Epiblast (C) – The epiblast is a rudimentary or reduced cotyledon that is present in some seeds but does not develop into a fully functional leaf‑like structure. Hence, it matches IV – Rudimentary cotyledon.
4. Perisperm (D) – The perisperm originates from the nucellus and remains persistent in the mature seed, serving as a storage tissue. This corresponds to I – Persistent nucellus.
Putting all the correct matches together gives the option:
A‑II, B‑III, C‑IV, D‑I
