The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to determine which part of the seed does not have any remnant in most plants. The options given are: (a) outer integument (b) inner integument (c) nucellus (d) micropyle ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Seed Structure**: - Seeds are formed from ovules after fertilization. The ovule consists of several parts, including the integuments (outer and inner), nucellus, and micropyle. 2. **Identifying the Parts**: - **Outer Integument**: This is the outer layer of the ovule and is typically present in seeds. - **Inner Integument**: This is the inner layer of the ovule and is also usually retained in seeds. - **Nucellus**: This is the tissue that nourishes the developing embryo and is often consumed during seed development. - **Micropyle**: This is the small opening in the ovule that allows the pollen tube to enter and is generally retained in seeds. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - Options (a), (b), and (d) (outer integument, inner integument, and micropyle) are typically present in seeds. - The **nucellus** is often not retained in most seeds after development, as it is used up during the formation of the seed. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the part that does not have any remnant in most seeds is the **nucellus**. ### Final Answer: (c) nucellus
