The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about the embryo are incorrect, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement A **Statement A**: A typical dicot embryo consists of an embryonal axis and 2 cotyledons. - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Dicot embryos typically have two cotyledons. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement B **Statement B**: The portion of the embryonal axis above the level of cotyledons is hypocotyl. - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. The portion of the embryonal axis above the level of cotyledons is called the **epicotyl**, while the hypocotyl is the part below the cotyledons. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement C **Statement C**: The portion below the level of cotyledons is epicotyl. - **Analysis**: This statement is also incorrect. The portion below the level of cotyledons is called the **hypocotyl**, not the epicotyl. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement D **Statement D**: The epicotyl terminates with the stem tip, and the hypocotyl terminates with the root tip. - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. The epicotyl does indeed terminate with the stem tip, and the hypocotyl terminates with the root tip. ### Conclusion The incorrect statements are **B** and **C**. ### Final Answer The incorrect statements are: - B. The portion of the embryonal axis above the level of cotyledons is hypocotyl. - C. The portion below the level of cotyledons is epicotyl.
