During the formation of an embryo from a zygote in angiosperms, the basal cell forms a suspensor that provides a route for nutrient transfer between the parent plant and the developing embryo. Cells differentiate to form the basic plant tissue types, and the early root-shoot axis is formed. Meiosis produces a haploid cell that fuses with another haploid cell to form a zygote, which then undergoes mitotic division to form a mass of cells that become the young embryo. The root and shoot systems emerge from the seed after the embryo has developed. Therefore, options I and III are incorrect, while options II, IV, and V are correct.
