A) coleorhiza
B) scutellum
C) prophyll
D) coleoptile
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
In a cereal grain (e.g., wheat), the single cotyledon of embryo is represented by the scutellum. Scutellum is specialised for nutrient absorption from the endosperm. Coleoptile is a modified ensheithning leaf that covers and protects the young primary leaves of a grass seedling. Coleorhiza is a sheath like structure found on the radicle which covers and protects it during the growth into the soil.You need to login to perform this action.
