Perisperm differs from endosperm in that:
1. Perisperm is derived from the fertilization of the central cell, while endosperm is not.
2. Perisperm is a diploid tissue, while endosperm is tetraploid.
3. Endosperm is derived from the fertilization of the central cell, while perisperm is not.
4. Endosperm is a diploid tissue, while perisperm is triploid.
