Which of the following is not true for double fertilization?
A
Discovered by Nawaschin
B
Male gamete and secondary nucleus fused to form endosperm nucleus
C
endosperm nucleus is diploid
D
endosperm nucleus nutrition to embryo
Solution
Double fertilization is characteristic feature of angiosperms. It was discovered by S G Nawaschin in $1898$. In double fertilization, one male gamete fused with ovum to form diploid zygote and the second male gamete fused with diploid secondary nucleus to form the triploid primary endosperm nucleus, which develops into endosperm. The endosperm provides nutrition to the developing embryo.
