State three differences between a dicot and a monocot seed.
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
A dicot seed has two cotyledons and a monocot seed only one. In most dicot seeds the food is stored in the cotyledons, while in a monocot seed it is stored in the endosperm. A monocot seed has a coleoptile and coleorhiza covering the plumule and radicle, which a dicot seed does not.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
A gram seed is a dicot and a maize grain a monocot.
