Solution

Development of embryo.

The zygote undergoes a series of mitotic divisions to form a multicellular, undifferentiated embryo. At the micropylar end there develops a basal stalk or suspensor, which disappears after a very short time and has no obvious function in angiosperms. At the chalazal end (the region opposite the micropyle) is the embryo proper. Differentiation of the embryo—e.g., the development of cells and organs with specific functions—involves the development of a primary root apical meristem (or radicle) adjacent to the suspensor from which the root will develop and the development of one cotyledon (in monocotyledons) or two cotyledons (in dicotyledons) at the opposite end from the suspensor. A shoot apical meristem then differentiates between the two cotyledons or next to the single cotyledon and is the site of stem differentiation. The mature embryo is a miniature plant consisting of a short axis with one or two attached cotyledons. An epicotyl, which extends above the cotyledon, is composed of the shoot apex and leaf primordia; a hypocotyl, which is the transition zone between the shoot and root; and the radicle
