Answer:

PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST

Explanation:

Monocotyledons  commonly referred to as monocots, (Lilianae sensu Chase & Reveal) are flowering plants (angiosperms), the seeds of which typically contain only one embryonic leaf, or cotyledon. They constitute one of the major groups into which the flowering plants have traditionally been divided, the rest of the flowering plants having two cotyledons and therefore classified as dicotyledons, or dicots. However, molecular phylogenetic research has shown that while the monocots form a monophyletic group or clade (comprising all the descendants of a common ancestor), the dicotyledons do not. Monocotyledons have almost always been recognized as a group, but with various taxonomic ranks and under several different names. The APG III system of 2009 recognises a clade called "monocots" but does not assign it to a taxonomic rank.

Answer 2

• The aim of fertilisation is to produce seed.

• Seeds are most efficient means of propagation in plants.

• Seeds grow to new plants.

A small embryo lies at one end of endosperm.

• The monocot like creals have large endosperm.

• The outer most layer of endosperm contains mainly protein.

• The embryo has a single cotyledon.

The cotyledon is known as scutellum.

A short axis is present lateral to the cotyledon.

The upper part of the axis is plumule.

The lower part is radicle.

Many seeds are albuminous.

Albuminous or endospermic seeds are the one in which the embryo does not completely consume endosperm.

Some monocots can be exalbumious too.

In Exalbumious seeds embryo consumes endosperm.

Example- Maize, Rice etc.
