Question

name the cell from which the endosperm of coconut develops.give the characteristic features of endosprem of coconut

Answer 1

Endosperm of coconut develops from primary endosperm cell which divides repeatedly to form a triploid endosperm tissue.

The endosperm of coconut is made up of coconut water which is free-nuclear stage and white kernal is cellular endosperm.

Answer 2

PEN (PRIMARY ENDOSPERM  NUCLEUS)  developes the endosperm in coconut

Explanation:

• Development of endosperm  precedes  embryo development and the cells of endosperm  provides nutrition to the growing embryo . the mode of formation of endosperm in coconut is of two types these are given below:

(a) Nuclear type :

It is one of the common method and (occurs  in about 56% of those angiospermic family ) in which the PEN (primary endosperm nucleus) undergoes repeated mitotic division without cytokinesis. this is called nuclear endosperm ex; water of coconut

(B) Cellular type :

In which cell wall formation occurs and the endosperm becomes cellular type. ex; internal white edible part of coconut.
