The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct statements about the angiospermic embryo, we will analyze each statement one by one: 1. **Statement i**: "The scutellum is centrally placed in monocots." - **Analysis**: The scutellum is the single large cotyledon found in monocots. However, it is not centrally placed; instead, it is located on one side of the seed. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Statement ii**: "Plumule is the stem tip and radicle is the root tip in dicots." - **Analysis**: In dicots, the plumule indeed represents the stem tip, while the radicle represents the root tip. This statement is **correct**. 3. **Statement iii**: "Coleorhiza is part of the hypocotyl in monocots." - **Analysis**: The coleorhiza is a protective sheath covering the radicle in monocots, and it is associated with the hypocotyl region. Thus, this statement is also **correct**. 4. **Statement iv**: "Monocotyledonous zygote gives rise to a globular heart-shaped embryo." - **Analysis**: The development of a globular heart-shaped embryo is characteristic of dicots, not monocots. Monocots do not exhibit this type of embryonic development. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. **Conclusion**: The correct statements are ii and iii. ### Final Answer: The correct statements about the angiospermic embryo are: - Statement ii: Plumule is the stem tip and radicle is the root tip in dicots. - Statement iii: Coleorhiza is part of the hypocotyl in monocots.
