Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Coleorhiza is the sheath that envelops the radicle in certain plants and that is penetrated by the root in germination. Endosperm is the part of a seed which acts as a food store for the developing plant embryo, usually containing starch with protein and other nutrients. Grape is a parthenocarpic fruit. Parthenocarpic fruit is formed without the fertilization in the ovary. Mango is a single seeded fruit developing from monocarpellary superior ovary. Maize has a membranous seed coat.
