Question

Explain+the+process+of+double+fertilization+and+triple+fusion+in+the+flowering+plants

Answer 1

In flowering plants, the pollen releases 2 male gametes. In the ovule of the female flower, there is one haploid female gamete and one diploid central cell. Of the 2 male gametes, one fuses with the female gamete and forms a diploid zygote, while the other fuses with the diploid central cell and forms triploid primary endosperm nucleus.In the later case, since 3 nuclei are involved, hence it is called triple fusion. and in the whole process since fertilization occurs twice, hence it is called double fertlization.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Answer 2

Explanation:

$<p style ="Color:red; font-family: cursive; background:black;font size25px;"> Triple fusion is a fusion that involves a sperm nucleus and two polar nuclei which occurs in the double fertilization in a seed-bearing plant that results in the endosperm formation. ... One of the two male gametes fuses with the nucleus of the egg cell to produce the zygote, this process is referred to as syngamy.$
