Answer:
a)The castor seed would be chosen to observe the endosperm. In bean seeds, the endosperm is completely absorbed at maturity. b) The development of endosperm precedes that of embryo in plants because the function of the endosperm is to provide nourishment to the developing embryo.
b)The endosperm formed as the result of the triple fusion generally preceds embryo development because: 1. Endosperm is a nutritive tissue, from which the growing embryo gets its nourishment via a haustorium or suspensor.
