Seed Development, Reserve Mobilization, & Des
- Statement (I) is False: The scutellum (modified monocot cotyledon) forms the interface between the embryo and the starchy endosperm, secreting hydrolytic enzymes and absorbing digested nutrients. The mesocotyl is the first internode between the scutellar node and coleoptile.
- Statement (II) is True: The coleoptile is a rigid protective sheath that encloses the plumule and emergent first leaves, shielding them from mechanical abrasion as they push through the soil.
- Conclusion: Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.
Correct option: (4) Statement (I) is false but Statement ({I) is true.
