Endosperm, a product of double fertilization in angiosperms is absent in the seeds of
1. | Gram | 2. | Orchids |
3. | Maize | 4. | Castor |
Aleurone layer of Maize grain is specially rich in
1. | Proteins | 2. | Starch |
3. | Lipids | 4. | Auxins |
What is true regarding aleurone layer in a monocot seed?
I. It is composed of proteinaceous material.
II. It is the outermost cell layer of the endosperm.
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |

The mature seed of plants such as gram and peas, possess no endosperm, because
1. | These plants are not angiosperms |
2. | There is no double fertilization in them |
3. | Endosperm is not formed in them |
4. | Endosperm gets used up by the developing embryo during seed development |
