Question

Double fertilization, triple fusion is seen in gymnosperms

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Double Fertilisation:

1. Double fertilisation increases seed viability by producing an endosperm that feeds the developing embryo.
2. Double fertilisation occurs when a male gamete fuses with a female gamete to form a zygote, and another male gamete fuses with the two polar nuclei to form the Primary Endosperm Nucleus.
3. When a sperm nucleus fuses with two polar nuclei, this is referred to as triple fusion.
4. Both of these phenomena occur in Angiosperms.

Final answer: The given statement is false.
