Question

What does the Primary Endosperm Nucleus eventually develop into?

Options

• The embryonic tissues and root system

• The seed coat and protective layers

• The flower and reproductive structures

• Endosperm tissue that serves as nutritive food for the embryo

Answer 1

The Primary Endosperm Nucleus [3n] undergoes repeated cell divisions to form the Primary Endosperm Cell [PEC], which then divides repeatedly to form the endosperm. The endosperm is nutritive food tissue that provides essential nutrients and energy for the developing embryo during seed development and germination.
