During the germination process, there is a permanent increase of cell size and dry mass of the seed and water uptake may differ from day to day, plant take more water on a wet day and less on a dry day.

Leaves of a plant are diploid as it forms from zygote which is diploid itself.

(a) Endosperm is the layer of tissue in the seeds that surround the embryo and provides nutrition' It is mainly of three different types:

Because it is formed by separate fertilization, the endosperm constitutes an organism separate from the growing embryo. About 70% of angiosperm species have endosperm cells that are polyploid. These are typically triploid (containing three sets of chromosomes). So, the correct option is C. ( Triploid nutritive tissue )

Helobial endosperm is an intermediate between nuclear and cellular types. Helobial endosperm formation is a type of endosperm formation, where a cell wall is laid down between the first two nuclei, after which one half develops endosperm along the cellular pattern and the other half along the nuclear pattern.

Cellular endosperm formation - where a cell wall formation is coincident with nuclear divisions. Coconut meat is cellular endosperm. Acoraceae has cellular endosperm development while other monocots are helobial. Examples are: Gentianaceae, Adoxa and Peperomia.

Nuclear endosperm formation - where repeated free nuclear divisions take place; if a cell wall is formed, it will form after free nuclear divisions. Commonly, referred to as liquid endosperm. Coconut juice is an example of this.
Helobial endosperm formation - where a cell wall is laid down between the first two nuclei, after which one half develops endosperm along the cellular pattern and the other half along the nuclear pattern.

The three principal types of endosperm formation found in angiosperms—nuclear, cellular and helobial and are classified on the basis of when the cell wall forms. In nuclear endosperm formation, repeated free-nuclear divisions take place; if a cell wall is formed, it will form after free-nuclear division. In cellular endosperm formation, cell-wall formation is coincident with nuclear divisions. In helobial endosperm formation, a cell wall is laid down between the first two nuclei, after which one half develops endosperm along the cellular pattern and the other half along the nuclear pattern. 

Temperature has a direct effect on working of enzymes. Through enzymes, it influences basal metabolite, activity and physiological functions of the organism Hence, mango trees cannot grow in temperate countries like canada and Germany. 

The endosperm is a tissue produced inside the seeds of most of the flowering plants following fertilization. It surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition in the form of starch, though it can also contain oils and protein. It is formed by the fusion of secondary nucleus and one of the male gamete.

When a heterozygous maize plant with coloured and full endosperm seed is crossed to a plant with colourless and shrunken seeds. In the progeny 480 coloured full endosperm seed containing 20 coloured shrunken seed containing and 20 colourless and full endosperm seed containing plants are produced. The percentage of recombinants are 38%.
