Question

Difference between dicot embryo and monocot embryo

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi

Explanation:

For this go to ncert textbooks of 11 n 12

But a little I can explain but without diagram. Hope so u could get the ans well

So dicot embryo contains 2 cotyledons n do nt resemble the true leaves whereas in case of monocot embryo, it contains only a cotyledon which resemble the true leaves.

Next diff bw them could also be that dicot embryo occurs laterally whereas monocot embryo occurs at the terminal position.

Answer 2

Answer:

The zygote developed inside the embryo sac divides mitotically to form the embryo. In monocot embryo only one cotyledon and a primary axis are present. The cotyledon is present at the tip of the axis and the plumule is on its lateral side. Embryo is curved. In dicot embryo has an axis and the two cotyledons are on either side in opposite direction. At the tip of the axis, the apical bud is present and at the base of the axis the root tip is present. The plumule develops into shoot system and radical into root system.

monocotyledon vs dicotyledon plants

Monocot Embryo vs Dicot Embryo

Monocot Embryo

1. Only one cotyledon attached to the embryonal axis.

2. Plumule is latral.

3. A single cotyledon occupies terminal position.

4. The envelope of plumule is called coleoptile.

5. Coleorrhiza is a protective sheath of radicle.

6. Suspensor comparatively larger.

7. A single cotyledon called scutellum is present.

Dicot Embryo

1. There are two cotyledons attached to an embryonal axis.

2. Plumule occur distally.

3. Cotyledons occur laterally.

4. Coleoptile absent.

5. Coleorrhiza absent.

6. Suspensor large.

7. Scutellum absent.
