BOTANY

Detailed explanation-1: -The type of germination in which hypocotyl elongates rapidly and arch upward pulling the cotyledons which move above the soil is called epigeal germination. Gourd and castor are examples of epigeal germination.

Detailed explanation-2: –The options cotton, castor, and bean (or common bean) are examples of epigeal germination.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hypogeal Germination: In this type of germination, the epicotyl elongates and the cotyledons remain below the soil. Pea, mango, maize, rice, gram and groundnut have germination of this kind. So, the correct answer is ‘Castor’.

Detailed explanation-4: –Epigeal germination is the type where the cotyledons are above the soil surface as the hypocotyl elongates very rapidly. The epicotyl remains unchanged in length.-Examples of epigeal germination are cotton, sunflower, castor, and bean (or common bean).

Detailed explanation-5: -Epigeal germination: In this, the cotyledons of the seeds are pushed above the soil due to elongation of the hypocotyl. Example: Bean, Tomato, Pumpkin.
