First step in germination for monocots and dicots? |
Radicle (root emerging) |
|

|
Two main differences between seed development in monocots and dicots |
Dicotyledon: two leaves generated in seed. Endosperm disappears and gets absorbed into two cotyledons Monocotyledon: one set of leaves are generated in the seed. |

Epigeal |
|
|
|
Advantages to epigeal dicots vs hypocotyl dicots |
Epigeal (cotyledons above stem): produce a lot of seeds, photosynthesizes for energy (needs nutrient rich soil). Hypocotyl: (cotyledons below stem): no predators, can grow in nutrient poor soils. |

Anemophily - wind pollination Hydrophily - water pollination |
|
|
|
Advantages to self pollination? |
Common in areas with a dry season or unpredictable growing season, usually in annuals, reproductive assurance - survival is not dependent on a mate |
