Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.
The female gametophyte in angiosperms itself acts as an endosperm

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

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. One sperm nucleus fertilizes the egg cell, forming a zygote, while the other sperm nucleus usually fuses with the bi-nucleate central cell, forming a primary endosperm cell (its nucleus is often called the triple fusion nucleus). That cell created in the process of double fertilization develops into the endosperm.

So, the correct option is, 'False'.
