Question

Example of dicot endospermic seed.

Answer 1

On the basis of the presence or absence of endosperm both Dicotyledonous and Monocotyledon seeds are endospermic and non endospermic. If the seed has a large amount of endosperm as a result of its larger synthesis or less utilization until the seed germinates, it is called endospermic or albuminous seed. In such seeds cotyledons are usually smaller and less developed. If the seed uses up most or all of the endosperm much before germination, the seed becomes non endospemouic or exalbuminous. In such cases the food materials are then stored in cotyledons which become larger.
