Q. In the embryos of a typical dicot and a grass, true homologous structures are

Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants

Solution:

In dicot plants, cotyledons are present that store the food for the seed.
In monocot plant, there is only one terminal cotyledon which is known as scutellum. The second cotyledon is reduced in monocots and which is known as epiblast.
These two structures are homologous to each other as they have similar functions but different structures.
