Double fertilization in angiosperms involves the fusion of one male gamete with the egg and the other male gamete with: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Double fertilization in angiosperms involves the fusion of one male gamete with the egg and the other male gamete with:
A. Central cell (secondary nucleus)
B. Synergids
C. Helping cells
D. Antipodals
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Double fertilization is a unique feature of angiosperms. One male gamete fuses with the egg cell to form the diploid zygote (syngamy), which develops into the embryo. The second male gamete fuses with the diploid secondary nucleus (polar nuclei) of the central cell to form the triploid Primary Endosperm Nucleus (PEN), which develops into the endosperm.
