Question

What is produced by double fertilization in angiosperms? Select one: a. A diploid zygote and a haploid polar nucleus

Answer 1

The angiosperm seed forms through a unique process known as double fertilization, in which one male gamete contributed by the pollen fuses with the egg cell located within the ovule to form the diploid zygote, while the other male gamete fuses with two haploid maternal nuclei in close proximity to the zygote to form a triploid endosperm nucleus.
