    Mcq A grain of wheat is : 1. Seed. 2.embryo. 3. Fruit 4. Both seed and fruit

    Answer

    A grain of wheat is the fruit. Members of the grass family have a kind of seed-like fruit called a caryopsis (or grain). In most species, the grains are enclosed inside of one or more scales that have been removed when people purchase grains for cooking or grinding into flour. As a fruit, a grain contains the seed, which also contains an embryo (no different than other kinds of fruits).
