Ques. 1AIPMT 2009

An example of a seed with endosperm, perisperm, and caruncle is

  1. coffee
  2. lily
  3. castor
  4. cotton

Answer

(3) castor

Solution

As per NCERT, castor is an endospermic (albuminous) seed: the food is stored in a well-developed endosperm.

⇒ The castor seed bears a spongy outgrowth of the integument at the micropylar end called the caruncle, and a thin remnant of the nucellus persists as perisperm.

∵ Coffee and lily have endosperm but no caruncle, and cotton seeds bear hairs instead,

∴ castor is the seed with endosperm, perisperm and caruncle.
