| (D) False fruit | (IV) Banana |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
(A) Ex-albuminous seeds — this matches (III) Pea. In these seeds the endosperm is used up completely while the embryo grows, so no endosperm is left. Food is stored in the thick cotyledons of the pea.
(B) Parthenocarpic fruit — this matches (IV) Banana. A parthenocarpic fruit develops without fertilisation, so it is seedless, like the banana.
(C) Albuminous seed — this matches (II) Maize. These seeds keep a part of the endosperm, because it is not fully used up during embryo development.
(D) False fruit — this matches (I) Cashew. In a false fruit the thalamus also takes part in forming the fruit, not the ovary alone.
