Seed Detective Challenge

Master Plant Classification by Seeds!

🌟 Welcome, Detective!

Phanerogams are seed-bearing plants! Your mission is to classify them based on how their seeds are structured. Are they naked or covered? Can they split into two halves?

🌲 Gymnosperms

Meaning: Gymnos (naked) + Sperm (seed)

Seeds: Naked, NOT covered by fruit

Examples: Pine, Cycad, Deodar, Christmas tree

Features: Woody plants with crown-shaped leaves

🌺 Angiosperms

Meaning: Angio (cover) + Sperm (seed)

Seeds: Covered inside fruits

Divided into: Monocots & Dicots

Features: Have flowers and fruits

🌾 Monocotyledons

Cotyledons: ONE seed leaf

Seed Test: Cannot split into 2 halves

Examples: Maize, Wheat, Rice, Bamboo

Features: Parallel leaf veins

🥜 Dicotyledons

Cotyledons: TWO seed leaves

Seed Test: Can easily split into 2 halves

Examples: Groundnut, Bean, Pea, Mango

Features: Reticulate leaf veins

🎮 How to Play

  • 1
    Level 1: Drag plants to Gymnosperm or Angiosperm zones
  • 2
    Level 2: Classify seeds as Monocot or Dicot
  • 3
    Level 3: Click seeds to split them - test if they're monocot or dicot!
  • 4
    Scoring: Correct = +5 points | Wrong = -2 points
🧪 Real Life Experiment: Soak maize and groundnut in water for 8-10 hours. Try opening them - groundnut splits easily (dicot), maize doesn't (monocot)!

🎓 What You Mastered:

  • ✓ Gymnosperms - Plants with naked seeds (Pine, Cycad)
  • ✓ Angiosperms - Plants with covered seeds (Most flowering plants)
  • ✓ Monocots - One cotyledon, seeds don't split (Maize, Wheat, Rice)
  • ✓ Dicots - Two cotyledons, seeds split easily (Groundnut, Bean, Pea)
  • ✓ The practical seed split test to identify monocots vs dicots!

🌟 Did You Know?

Gymnosperm seeds are the oldest type of seeds - they evolved over 300 million years ago!
