Question

Which one of the following is a nonendospermic seed?

पर्याय

• Castor

• Сосonut

• Maize

• Pea

Answer 1

Pea

Explanation:

Pea seeds are non-endospermic or exalbuminous; the endosperm is consumed during seed development, and the cotyledons store the food reserves. Castor, coconut and maize are endospermic seeds that retain endosperm in the mature seed.
