The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which cell of the embryo produces the plumule, we can analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - **Plumule**: This is the part of the embryo that develops into the shoot system of the plant. - **Apical Octant**: This is the upper part of the embryo that gives rise to the plumule. - **Proembryo**: This is an early stage of the embryo but does not specifically lead to the formation of the plumule. - **Hypophysis**: This is the region of the embryo that contributes to the root system and does not form the plumule. - **Micropylar Octant**: Also known as the basal octant, this part contributes to the formation of the radical (root) rather than the plumule. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **(a) Apical Octant**: This is responsible for the formation of the plumule. - **(b) Proembryo**: Does not specifically produce the plumule. - **(c) Hypophysis**: Involved in root development, not plumule. - **(d) Micropylar Octant**: Produces the radical, not the plumule. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the definitions and functions of each part of the embryo, the correct answer is **(a) Apical Octant**. ### Final Answer: The plumule is produced from the **Apical Octant** of the embryo. ---
