    E) If the assertion is false but reason is true

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In Cycas, more than one archegonium may be fertilized in the ovule. The oospores of these develop into the pro-embryo stage. Each proembryo may produce a suspensor. All the suspensors twist together to form a compound suspensor. It supports only one embryo which reaches maturity. The mature embryo has two cotyledons plumule and the radicle embedded in a coleorhiza.
