Assertion: Helobial endosperm is found in monocots.
Reason: Two chambers are formed in this endosperm.
  • A
    Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  • Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  • C
    Assertion is true, but reason is false.
  • D

Answer

Correct option: B.
Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Helobial endosperm is restricted largely to the monocotyledons. The primary endosperm nucleus moves to the chalazal end of the embryo sac, where it divides, fanning a large micropylar chamber and a small chalazal chamber.
