Question

Which is the most logical sequence with reference to the life cycle of angiosperms?

• A. Germination, endosperm formation, seed dispersal, double fertilization
• B. Pollination, fertilization, seed formation, germination
• C. Cleavage, fertilization, grafting, fruit formation
• D. Maturation, mitosis, differentiation, fertilization

Answer 1

The correct option is B Pollination, fertilization, seed formation, germination

Pollination is the process of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. Only after pollination, when pollen comes in contact with the stigma of a suitable flower, it grows a tiny tube, downwards the style to the ovary where the fusion of male and female gametes takes place to form a zygote this process is called as fertilization. Fertilization forms an ovule which later on forms a seed, which contains an embryo that will later grow into a new plant, a process called germination.

So, the correct answer is 'Pollination, fertilization, seed formation, germination'.
