Epigeal germination can be found in:
Epigeal germination can be found in:
- A) sorghum
- B) maize
- C) millet
- D) groundnut
Correct Answer: D) groundnut
Explanation
Epigeal germination is a type of germination where the cotyledons (or seed leaves) of a germinating seed are pushed above the ground level. This is in contrast to hypogeal germination, where the cotyledons remain below the ground level. In response to the question, we are looking for the plant that exhibits epigeal germination. Among the options given, sorghum, maize, and millet all exhibit hypogeal germination, which means that they are not the correct answers. The correct answer is option D, groundnut (also known as peanut). Groundnut exhibits epigeal germination, where the cotyledons are pushed above the ground level during germination. It is important for Biology students to understand the different types of germination, as this knowledge is essential in crop cultivation and farming practices.
