The mature seeds of plants such as gram and peas, possess no endosperm, because

Athese plants are not angiosperms
Bthere is no double fertilisation in them
Cendosperm is not formed in them
Dendosperm gets used up by the developing embryo during seed development.
Correct Answer

Solution

Gram and pea both are dicot seeds. Cotyledons take up most of the space in the seed and these cotyledons become filled with the material that will nourish the growing embryo. therefore the endosperm is used up by the developing embryo.

So, the correct option is endosperm gets used up by the developing embryo during seed development.
