1multiple correct

Which of the following are essential conditions for seed germination?

Show answer

Water, Suitable temperature, Oxygen

The three essential conditions for seed germination are water (for swelling and enzyme action), suitable temperature (25-35°C), and oxygen (for respiration). Sunlight is not needed initially as seeds have stored food.

2multiple choice

The scar on the seed coat marking the point of attachment to the ovary is called:

Show answer

Hilum

Show answer

True

In epigeal germination, the hypocotyl elongates and pushes the cotyledons above the ground. This happens in bean and castor seeds. In hypogeal germination, cotyledons remain underground.

4multiple choice
