Question

Seeds are called products of sexual reproduction because they

• A. Give rise to new plants
• B. Are formed by fusion of gametes
• C. Are formed by fusion of pollen tubes
• D. Can survive for longer periods

Answer 1

The correct option is B Are formed by fusion of gametes

The fusion of male and female gamete is called fertilization. The fusion of the gamete results in the formation of the zygote which develops to form the embryo. The ovule gets converted to form the seed and the ovary transforms to fruit. Since, there is fusion of two gametes which belong to different sexes of flower, the process of seed and fruit formation from plant is known as sexual reproduction.

Option B is correct.
