The correct Answer is:
To determine which plant does not have tiny seeds, we can analyze the options provided: Orobanch, Striga, Ficus, and Orchids. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Seed Formation**: - Seeds are formed from ovules after fertilization, which contain the female gamete. The ovary, which is part of the female reproductive structure (carpel or pistil), develops into fruit that encloses the seeds. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Orobanch**: This is a parasitic plant that produces a large number of tiny seeds. - **Striga**: Another parasitic plant that also produces many small seeds. - **Ficus**: This genus includes trees like the Banyan tree and produces fruits with a large number of tiny seeds. - **Orchids**: Known for their diverse flowers, orchids also produce tiny seeds. 3. **Identifying the Exception**: - **Coconut**: Unlike the others, coconut is classified as a drupe and has a single large seed. The edible part of the coconut is the endosperm, and it does not produce tiny seeds. 4. **Conclusion**: - The plant that does not have tiny seeds is **Coconut** (Option D). It has a large seed that contains a significant amount of endosperm, making it distinct from the other options. ### Final Answer: **D. Coconut** - Tiny seeds are not found in coconut. ---
