Perisperm differs from endosperm in

  • being a haploid tissue

  • having no reserve food

  • being a diploid tissue

  • its formation by fusion of secondary nucleus with several sperms

Solution

C.

being a diploid tissue

Perisperm is a nutritive tissue of a seed derived from the nucellus and deposited external to the embryo sac. It is remnants of nucellus which is diploid (2n) but endosperm is triploid (3n). It occurs in the seeds of Black perpper, coffee, castor etc. Endosperm is the food laden tissue which is meant for nourishing the embryo in seed plants. In angiosperms the endosperm is formed as a result of vegetative fertilization, triple fusion or fusion of a male gamete with diploid secondary nucleus of the central cell.
