Question

Match the types of endosperms given in Column I with examples given in Column II {|c|c|c|c|} Column I & & Column II &
i. & Cellular & a. & Coconut
ii. & Nuclear & b. & Asphodelus
iii. & Helobial & c. & Petunia

• A. i - a ii - b iii - c
• B. i - b ii - c iii - a
• C. i - c ii - a iii - b
• D. i - c ii - b iii - a

Hint:

- Coconut = Nuclear (liquid endosperm) - Petunia = Cellular - Asphodelus = Helobial

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Endosperm development types:
• Nuclear type: Free nuclear divisions without cell wall formation initially
• Cellular type: Cell wall formation occurs immediately after each division
• Helobial type: Intermediate type (first division forms two unequal chambers)

Step 1: Match examples.

• Coconut $\rightarrow$ Nuclear type
• Petunia $\rightarrow$ Cellular type
• Asphodelus $\rightarrow$ Helobial type

Step 2: Write matching.
\[ i \rightarrow c,\quad ii \rightarrow a,\quad iii \rightarrow b \]
