The mature seeds of plants such as gram and peas, possess no endosperm, because
these plants are not angiosperms.
there is no double fertilization in them.
endosperm is not formed in them.
endosperm gets used up by the developing embryo during seed development.
Correct Answer :
D. endosperm gets used up by the developing embryo during seed development.
Gram and peas are exalbuminous (non-endospermic) seeds because they usually store reserve food materials in cotyledons. In these seeds, the endosperm is used up and not present in mature seeds.
