Perisperm differs from endosperm in:

  1. A
    Being a haploid tissue.
  2. B

  3. C
    Being a diploid tissue.
  4. D
    Its formation by fusion of secondary nucleus with several sperms.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Perisperm is the persistent, residual part of the nucellus in the seed. Since nucellus is a part of the maternal sporophyte, it is diploid (). In contrast, endosperm in angiosperms is typically triploid () as it results from triple fusion.
