Question

• A. Vegetative fertilization
• B. Asexual fertilization
• C. Sexual fertilization
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Vegetative fertilization

Angiosperms have a unique phenomenon termed as double fertilization which after the release of two male gametes inside the embryo sac by the pollen tube, one male gamete which is near to the egg fuses with the egg nucleus. This phenomenon is known as fertilization. During fertilization, the zygote is formed. the other male gamete migrates toward the central cell and fuses with it. this phenomenon is known as triple fusion which results in the formation of the triploid primary endosperm mother cell. Triple fusion is also known as vegetative fertilisation.

So, the correct answer is 'Vegetative fertilization'
