Cuneiform script (/kjuËËniËáµ»fÉËrm/ kew-NEE-i-form or /ËkjuËnáµ»fÉËrm/ KEW-ni-form), one of the earliest systems of writing, was invented by the Sumerians. It is distinguished by its wedge-shaped marks on clay tablets, made by means of a blunt reed for a stylus. The name cuneiform itself simply means wedge shaped.
â¢ Monocot seeds contain one cotyledon while dicot seeds contain two cotyledons. â¢ Cotyledon of monocot seed is generally long and thin, whereas cotyledons of dicot seed are thick and fleshy. â¢ The embryos of dicot seed are large while that of monocot seeds are small. â¢ Dicot seeds contain large plumule and folded plumule leaves, whereas monocot seeds contain very small plumule and rolled plumule leaves. â¢ Hilum and micropyle of dicot seeds are clearly visible while that of monocot seeds are not visible.
Within the ovary are ovules. This is an important difference between gymnosperms and angiosperms: ovules of angiosperms are enclosed within an ovary! The number of ovules within an ovary varies with species. We are going to jump ahead just a little: the ovary will develop into a fruit; ovules develop into seeds.n addition to seed structure, there are four other differences between monocots and dicots. (Keep in mind that the definitive difference between the two groups is the number of cotyledons attached to the embryo.). 1  Flowers of monocots generally have the parts in threes or groups of three.
