The apical cell of the 2-celled pro-embryo in angiosperms undergoes __________ division to form 8-celled octant pro-embryo.
- A Four transverse mitotic
- B Four vertical mitotic
- C Two meiotic
- D One transverse and two vertical mitotic
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) One transverse and two vertical mitotic
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In a two celled proembryo large cell towards micropyle is larger and called suspensor or basal cell. A smaller towards chalaza end is terminal or embryonal cell. It undergoes one transverse and two vertical mitotic divisions to form 8 celled stage.
