Question

In Angiosperms, endosperm is formed by

• A. Free nuclear division of megasphore
• B. Division of fused polar endosperm nuclei
• C. Division of fused secondary nucleus and male gamete
• D. Division of fused synergids and male gamete

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Division of fused secondary nucleus and male gamete

The endosperm is a tissue produced inside the seeds of most of the flowering plants following fertilization. It surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition in the form of starch, though it can also contain oils and protein. It is formed by the fusion of secondary nucleus and one of the male gamete.

So the correct answer should be option "division of secondary nucleus and male gamete".
