Seeds - Structure and Germination — Question 11
Back to all questionsSeeds germinate in two ways. The type in which the cotyledons remain underground is called (P) ............... germination. During this type of germination, the (Q) ............... elongates faster.
- P — Epigeal, Q — Hypocotyl
- P — Epigeal, Q — Epicotyl
- P — Hypogeal, Q — Epicotyl
- P — Hypogeal, Q — Hypocotyl
P — Hypogeal, Q — Epicotyl
Reason — In hypogeal germination, the cotyledons remain below the ground. The epicotyl elongates faster, pushing the plumule above the soil.
Key Concepts Covered
This question tests your understanding of the following concepts from the chapter Seeds - Structure and Germination: Question, Seeds, Germinate, Ways, Cotyledons, Remain. These are fundamental topics in Biology that students are expected to master as part of the ICSE Class 9 curriculum.
A thorough understanding of these concepts will help you answer similar questions confidently in your ICSE examinations. These topics are frequently tested in both objective and subjective sections of Biology papers. We recommend revising the relevant section of your textbook alongside practising these solved examples to build a strong foundation.
How to Approach This Question
Read the question carefully and identify what is being asked. Break down complex questions into smaller parts. Use the terminology and concepts discussed in this chapter. Structure your answer logically — begin with a definition or key statement, then provide supporting details. Review your answer to ensure it addresses all parts of the question completely.
Key Points to Remember
- Use precise scientific terminology as defined in the textbook.
- Draw and label diagrams neatly for full marks.
- Understand the difference between structure and function.
- Learn processes step-by-step in the correct sequence.
