The correct Answer is:
To determine which option represents the character of nuclear endosperm, we can analyze the definitions and characteristics of nuclear endosperm and the given options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Nuclear Endosperm**: Nuclear endosperm is formed when the primary endosperm nucleus undergoes mitotic divisions without the formation of cell walls. This results in a liquid endosperm containing multiple nuclei, which is nutritious. 2. **Analyze the Options**: - **A. Coconut or copra**: Coconut milk (or coconut water) is a liquid that contains nuclear endosperm, as it is formed without cell wall formation. - **B. Utricularia**: This is a genus of carnivorous plants and does not typically produce nuclear endosperm. - **C. Coconut**: This option is similar to A, as it refers to the same fruit that produces coconut milk. - **D. Aspergillus**: This is a genus of fungi and does not produce nuclear endosperm. 3. **Identify the Correct Answer**: Both options A (Coconut or copra) and C (Coconut) refer to the coconut, which is known for its liquid endosperm (coconut milk). However, since the question asks for a character of nuclear endosperm, the best answer is **C. Coconut**. 4. **Conclusion**: The character of nuclear endosperm is primarily associated with coconut, particularly in its liquid form (coconut milk). ### Final Answer: C. Coconut ---
