Question

what do you observe in the experiment of dropping a fist of bengal seed in water

Answer 1

Pea SeedReal Lab ProcedureTake some pea seeds and put them in a beaker containing distilled water.Soak the pea seeds overnight.Take one seed from the beaker using a forceps and place it in a watch glass.Remove the seed coat of the pea seed, using the forceps and the needle.Pick the seed using the forceps and place it on the stage plate of the dissection microscope.Separate the two cotyledons of the pea seed using the forceps and the needle.Observe the seed through the dissection microscope. ObservationsPea seeds are round in shape.One end of the embryonic axis called the plumule, lies enclosed between the two cotyledons. It develops into the shoot.We can see a epicotyl and a hypocotyl on each seed, which is located above the root and below the stalk of the cotyledon.The other end of the embryonic axis called the radicle, protrudes outside the cotyledons. This develops in to the root.The pea seed contains two thick fleshy cotyledons which are foods storage organs.Since two cotyledons are seen in pea seeds, they are dicot seeds.
