The central cell of the female gametophytes in angiosperms:
1. results in the formation of a diploid cell after double fertilisation.
2. has three haploid nuclei
3. after triple fusion becomes the primary endosperm cell (PEC) and develops into the endosperm.
4. after syngamy develops into an embryo

Embryos of monocotyledons possess only one cotyledon. How many of the following statements will be true?
I: In the grass family, the cotyledon is called scutellum that is situated towards one side (lateral) of the embryonal axis.
II: At its lower end, the embryonal axis has the radical and root cap enclosed in an undifferentiated sheath called coleorrhiza.
III: The portion of the embryonal axis above the level of attachment of scutellum is the epicotyl.
IV: Epicotyl has a shoot apex and a few leaf primordia enclosed in a hollow foliar structure, the coleoptile.
