Question

Differentiate between a dicot embryo and a monocot embryo.

Answer 1

Monocot Embryo:

1. Basal cell produces a single celled suspensor.

2. It forms the whole of the embryo.

3. It is transverse.

4. There is a single cotyledon.

5. Plumule appears lateral due to excessive growth of the single cotylden
Dicot Embryo:

1. Basal cell forms a 6-10 celled suspensor.

2. Terminal cell produces embryo except the radicle.

3. The first division of terminal cell is generally longitudinal.

4. It has two cotyledon

5. Plumule is terminal and lies in between the two elongated cotyledons
