Which one of the following statements is correct?

  1. The seed in grasses is not endospermic.
  2. Mango is a parthenocarpic fruit.
  3. A proteinaceous aleurone layer is present in maize grain.
  4. A sterile pistil is called a staminode.

Answer

(3) A proteinaceous aleurone layer is present in maize grain.

Solution

As per NCERT, in maize grain the endosperm is bulky and is separated from the embryo layer by a proteinaceous layer called aleurone layer.

∵ Seeds of grasses (cereals) are endospermic.

∵ Mango is a true fruit developed from a fertilised ovary (drupe), not parthenocarpic.

∵ A sterile stamen (not pistil) is called a staminode.

∴ Only the statement about the aleurone layer in maize is correct.

Answer: (3)
