| Statement I: | The outer covering of endosperm separates the embryo by a proteinous layer called aleurone layer |
| Statement II: | The plumule and radicle are enclosed in sheaths which are called coleoptile and coleorhiza respectively |
| 1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |
| 2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
| 3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
| 1. | Coleoptile encloses the radicle; coleorhiza encloses the plumule. |
| 2. | Both structures are protective coverings of the endosperm. |
| 3. | Coleoptile and coleorhiza are sheaths enclosing plumule and radicle respectively. |
| 4. | Coleoptile and coleorhiza together form the scutellum. |
| 1. | nourishment for the pollen |
| 2. | nourishment for the developing embryo |
| 3. | material for fruit development |
| 4. | a reward for animal pollinators |
