Options

  1. A1 diploid and 1 haploid cell
  2. B1 diploid and 1 triploid cell
  3. C2 haploid and 1 triploid cell
  4. D1 haploid and 1 triploid cell

Correct answer

B. 1 diploid and 1 triploid cell

Step-by-step solution

Double fertilization is the fusion of two male gametes brought about by a pollen tube fusing to two different cells of the same female gametophyte in order to produce two different structures. It is found only in angiosperms. In angiosperms, the pollen tube bursts open in one of the two synergids to release the two male gametes. One male gamete fuses with the egg or oosphere to form a diploid zygote or oospore. It is called generative fertilization. The second male gamete descends down and fuses with the diploid se
