The scutellum observed in a grain of wheat or maize is comparable to which part of the seed in other monocotyledons?
Cotyledon
Endosperm
Aleurone layer
Plumule
Depending on how many cotyledons an angiosperm has, it is classified as either a monocot or a dicot. A single, substantial, shield-shaped cotyledon called the scutellum makes up the seed of monocots. A grain of wheat or maize has a scutellum that resembles the cotyledons in other monocotyledons. Therefore "cotyledons" is the proper response.
