Question

In the following plants sexual reproduction involves several events beginning with the bud and ending in a fruit. These events are arranged in four different combinations. Select the combination that has the correct sequence of events.

• A. Embryo, zygote, gametes, fertilization
• B. Gametes, fertilization, zygote, embryo
• C. Fertilization, zygote, gametes, embryo
• D. Gametes, zygote, embryo, fertilization

Answer 1

The correct option is B Gametes, fertilization, zygote, embryo

Angiosperms are the flowering plants in which the flower bud is converted into fruit, during the process of sexual reproduction. In flowering plants, the gametes are produced which fuse during fertilization to form the zygote. The zygote develops to form the embryo. So, the order of the events in sexual reproduction is:

Gametes→Fertilization→Zygote→Embryo.
