The correct Answer is:
To sort out the correct points for albuminous (A) and exalbuminous (B) seeds based on the given statements, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Albuminous Seeds (A)**: - Albuminous seeds are seeds that contain endosperm at maturity. This means they store food in the endosperm. - Therefore, the relevant points for albuminous seeds are: - II. Endosperm present (correct for A) - VI. Food is stored in endosperms (correct for A) - Cotyledons can be thin or thick, but in many albuminous seeds, they are often thin. 2. **Identify Exalbuminous Seeds (B)**: - Exalbuminous seeds do not have endosperm at maturity. Instead, they store food in the cotyledons. - Therefore, the relevant points for exalbuminous seeds are: - I. No endosperm (correct for B) - V. Food is stored in cotyledons (correct for B) - Cotyledons are generally thick in exalbuminous seeds. 3. **Sorting the Statements**: - For Albuminous seeds (A): - II. Endosperm present - VI. Food is stored in endosperms - III. Cotyledons - thin (often true) - For Exalbuminous seeds (B): - I. No endosperm - V. Food is stored in cotyledons - IV. Cotyledons - thick (often true) ### Final Sorting: - **Albuminous Seeds (A)**: II, VI, III - **Exalbuminous Seeds (B)**: I, V, IV ### Conclusion: - The correct sorting of statements is: - A: II, VI, III - B: I, V, IV

Read the following statements and find out the incorrect statement. a. Embryo development precedes endosperm development. b. Though the seeds differs greatly the early stages of embryo development (embrogeny) are similar in both monocotyledons and dicotyledons. c. A typical dicotyledonous embryo consists of an embryonal axis and two cotyledons. d. Endosperm may either be completely consumed by the developing embryo (e.g., castor and coconut) before seed maturation or it may persist in the mature seed (e.g., wheat, rice , pea, groundnut and beans). e. The coconut water from tender coconut is cellular endosperms and the surrounding while kernal is the nuclear endosperm.
