BOTANY

Detailed explanation-1: -In monocots, the first cotyledon is called scutellum while the second cotyledon is rudimentary and is called – epiblast. It is a small flap-like outgrowth. It is formed by the remains of second cotyledon which is not truly developed in monocots.

Detailed explanation-2: -Angiosperms with two cotyledons are called dicotyledons or dicots. They produce leaves with a netlike pattern of veins and flower parts in multiples of four or five. Apples, cherries, beans, squashes, and tomatoes are common dicots.

Detailed explanation-3: -On the basis of the number of cotyledons in seeds, angiosperms are divided into monocots (having one cotyledon) and dicots (having two cotyledons). General characteristics of dicots are: Their seeds have two cotyledons.

Detailed explanation-4: -These refer to how many cotyledons the plant’s seed contains. Cotyledons are structures that provide energy and nutrients to the young plant. Monocots have one cotyledon, and dicots have two.

Detailed explanation-5: -cotyledon, seed leaf within the embryo of a seed. Cotyledons help supply the nutrition a plant embryo needs to germinate and become established as a photosynthetic organism and may themselves be a source of nutritional reserves or may aid the embryo in metabolizing nutrition stored elsewhere in the seed.
