Answers

Answer by Isha Agarwal

Perisperm is remnants of nucellus which is diploid (2n) but endosperm is triploid (3n). Perisperm occurs in the seeds of Black perpper, coffee, castor, cardamum, Nymphaea. Endosperm is the food laden tissue which is meant for nourishing the embryo in seed plants. In angiosperms the endosperm is formed as a result of vegetative fertilization, triple fusion or fusion of a male gamete with diploid secondary nucleus of the central cell.
