My teacher gives me some unknown seeds that are small are of different colours (yellow and brown mostly). I am given the instructions to first soak the seeds for 10 hours, then put them on cotton and water them every day.

The seeds did germinate but then there is a white covering some of the seeds. It looks like the white frosting dust of sweets. When I water the seeds, it turns transparent and the next day, the white covering is still there.

1. What seeds are they?

2. What is the white covering.
