Answer 1

The correct answer for plato users is option A. Germinating seeds of a dicot and a monocot respectively.

Answer 2

The correct answer is letter B: germinating seeds of monocot and a dicot repectively.

The diagrams show growth of seeds that are known as monocots and dicots. Monocots and dicots differ by way that their roots grow through the soil. Monocots have roots that grow downwards while Dicots have roots that shoot toward the surface and then dives back again into the soil. Both of these seeds use their cotyledons as food sources.
