Which of the following would still occur even if triple fusion did not happen?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Embryo develops from the zygote, which forms by syngamy, not triple fusion. Triple fusion is the fusion of a male gamete with the two polar nuclei to form the primary endosperm nucleus (PEN) (triploid), so if triple fusion does not occur, there will be no PEN, no endosperm and no triploid cell. However, syngamy (fusion of the other male gamete with the egg) is independent of triple fusion, so zygote formation can still occur.
