Mark the correct match.

  1. Epigeal germination- Bean

  2. Hypogeal germination- Maize

  3. Bisexual flower- Mustard

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In beans germination takes place above the ground and maize below the ground, bisexual flowers were seen in mustard.

So the correct option is 'All of the above.'

Monocot seed generally shows

  1. Epigeal germination

  2. Hypogeal germination

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In hypogeal germination, the cotyledons do not come out of the soil surface. In such seeds, the epicotyl (i.e., part of the embryonic axis between plumule and cotyledons) elongates pushing the plumule out of the soil. All monocotyledons show hypogeal germination.

So the correct option is 'Hypogeal germination'.

Which one of the following is a monocotyledonous seed?

  1. Bean

  2. Pea

  3. Maize

  4. Gram


Correct Option: C

During germination, if the cotyledons are pushed above the soil, then such seeds are called

  1. Epigeal

  2. Hypogeal

  3. Perigeal

  4. Progeal


Correct Option: A
