Question

The mature seeds of plants such as gram and peas, possess no endosperm, because (A) these plants are not angiosperms (B) there is no double fertilisation in them (C) endosperm is not formed in them (D) endosperm gets used up by the developing embryo during seed development

Majority of dicot seeds (e.g., pea, gram, bean, mustard, groundnut) and a few monocot seeds (e.g., orchids, Sagittaria), are called nonendospermic or exalbuminous seeds because the endosperm is consumed during seed development and the food is stored in cotyledons and other regions.
