Q. Perisperm differs from endosperm in
A) Being a haploid tissue
B) Having no reserve food
C) Being a diploid tissue
D) Its formation by fusion of secondary nucleus with several sperms
Explanation
[Solution from source] Perisperm is residual, persistent nucellus, a diploid maternal tissue, whereas endosperm is triploid, formed by fusion of a male gamete with the two polar nuclei. Perisperm does store food (e.g. black pepper), so it is not a tissue without reserves. Answer (3).
