Question

Cotyledons develop as part of ______.

Options

• seeds

• fruits

• embryos

• ovaries

Answer 1

Cotyledons develop as part of embryos.

Explanation:

Cotyledons develop as part of the embryo in a seed. They are the seed leaves attached to the embryonal axis and often store food for the developing seedling. In dicot embryos, there are usually two cotyledons, while monocot embryos have a single cotyledon. Cotyledons nourish the embryo during its early growth stages and are an integral part of the embryo itself, not the seed coat, fruit, or ovaries.
