Globular shaped embryo.

Heart-shaped embryo.

Torpedo shaped embryo

Bean shaped embryo.

Correct Answer:

Bean shaped embryo.

Explanation:

The correct answer is a bean-shaped embryo.

The developing stages of an embryo in angiosperms are:

  • Proembryo: This is the earliest stage of embryo development, and it is characterized by a small group of cells that are dividing rapidly.
  • Globular embryo: This stage is characterized by a spherical shape, and it is the stage at which the embryo begins to develop its basic body plan.
  • Heart-shaped embryo: This stage is characterized by a heart-shaped cotyledon, and it is the stage at which the embryo begins to develop its vascular system.
  • Torpedo-shaped embryo: This stage is characterized by a torpedo-shaped cotyledon, and it is the stage at which the embryo is ready to germinate.
