Q. Triple fusion in angiosperms is the fusion of second male gamete with
A) Two polar nuclei (secondary nucleus)
B) Two antipodal cells
C) One antipodal cell
D) Antipodal cell and one synergid cell
Explanation
During fertilisation in plants, one male gamete fuses with the egg cell and forms the zygote (this process is called syngamy). The other male gamete fuses with the secondary nucleus (this is called triple fusion). The syngamy and triple fusion together are called double fertilisation
