Select all of the following that take place during double fertilization in angiosperms.Multiple select question.two sperm nuclei fertilize one eggone sperm nucleus fertilizes a pair of nuclei to produce the endospermone sperm nucleus fertilizes an eggtwo sperm nuclei merge before fertilizing one egg
Solution
The correct answers are:
- One sperm nucleus fertilizes an egg
- One sperm nucleus fertilizes a pair of nuclei to produce the endosperm
These two processes are part of double fertilization in angiosperms. The first sperm nucleus fertilizes the egg to form the zygote, which will develop into the embryo. The second sperm nucleus fertilizes two polar nuclei in the central cell of the ovule to form the endosperm, which provides nourishment to the developing embryo.
