Kiara visited a forest with marshy land. She observed that in some of the plants, the seeds germinate inside the fruit while still being attached to the parent plant. A part of the plant and a seedling are shown below in the diagram, answer the questions that follow.

(a) What kind of germination is shown above in the figure ?

(b) Give two examples of the plants which germinate by this kind of germination.

(c) Mention the part shown in the figure as 'A'.

With regard to germination in bean seed, answer the following questions:

1. State the function of the 'micropyle'.
2. Name the part of the seed that grows into the seedling.
3. Name the part of the seed that provides nutrition for the growing seedling.
4. Draw a neat labelled diagram of a mature bean seed.

Assertion (A): Dicotyledonous seeds are always exalbuminous (non-endospermic).

Reason (R): All dicotyledonous seeds contain two cotyledons which store food material for the developing embryo.

1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
3. A is true but R is false.
4. A is false but R is true.

Assertion (A): Micropyle is the opening through which the pollen tube enters the ovule.

Reason (R): Micropyle helps in the diffusion of respiratory gases for the growing embryo.

1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
3. A is true but R is false.
4. A is false but R is true.
