4️⃣ None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is option 1

Explanation:

Syngamy is fusion of male gamete with the egg cell

Answer 2

SYNGAMY is Fusion of Male gamete with the Egg cell.

Detailed Discussion:

• Syngamy in simple terms refer to union of fusion of two gametes (cells) or nuclei in $\rm se{x}ual$ reproduction. This term is mainly used for $\rm se{x}ual$ reproduction in plants.

• Otherwise, this term is also known as Amphimixis or Fertilization.

• The haploid male gamete fuses with the haploid egg cell to form a diploid zygote.

• Usually, the second male gamete fuses with the two polar nuclei resulting in formation of an endosperm (nutritive tissue) through a process called TRIPLE FUSION.

• This process of syngamy helps in acquisition of different characters by the progeny plants (i.e. the basis of genetic diversity).
