Question

• A. Only statement 1 is correct
• B. Both the statements are correct
• C. Both the statements are incorrect
• D. Only statement 2 is correct

Answer 1

The correct option is D Only statement 2 is correct

Fertilisation involves the fusion of male and female gametes. It results in the formation of zygote. The process takes place in the ovary of the flower. Pollinators carry the pollen from the anther to the stigma. Once it lands on the suitable stigma, a tube is formed. The male gamete travels down the style and enters inside the ovary, where it fertilises the ovule.
