On observing an embryo of a pea seed, a student listed its various parts as given below :
Micropyle, Cotyledon, Plumule, Testa, Radicle, Tegmen
On examining the list the teacher remarked that out of these only three parts belong to embryo. Select these three parts :
(a) Testa, Radicle, Cotyledon
(b) Tegmen, Radicle, Micropyle
(c) Cotyledon, Plumule, Radicle
(d) Cotyledon, Plumule, Testa
Pea is dicot plant and its seed has testa, cotyledons and embryonic axis. Its embryo consists of the cotyledon, plumule and radicle making option D correct answer. The fleshy round structure/s on the embryonic axis that contains reserve food material is known as cotyledon.
