The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements A and B regarding angiosperm embryos and coleorhiza. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze Statement A** - Statement A claims that a typical angiosperm embryo develops near the micropylar end of the embryo sac. - In angiosperms, the female gametophyte (embryo sac) is typically seven-celled and eight-nucleated. The embryo develops from the zygote formed after fertilization, which occurs at the micropylar end of the embryo sac. - Therefore, this statement is **correct**. **Step 2: Analyze Statement B** - Statement B states that coleorhiza encloses the radical and the root cap. - Coleorhiza is indeed a protective sheath that surrounds the radical (embryonic root) and the root cap in monocot seeds. It is the first structure to emerge during seed germination and protects the developing root. - Therefore, this statement is also **correct**. **Step 3: Conclusion** - Since both statements A and B are correct, the answer to the question is that both statements are correct. ### Final Answer: Both statement A and B are correct.
