Question

Which of these is mismatched?
Options
A polar nuclei - plumule
Correct Answer
B egg and sperm - zygote
C ovule - seed
D ovary – fruit
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Polar nuclei are involved in double fertilization in angiosperms, fusing with a sperm to form the triploid endosperm. The plumule is part of the embryo (the future shoot). They are not directly related. The other pairs are correct: egg+sperm form zygote; ovule becomes seed; ovary becomes fruit.

Hint

Which structure in the ovule is not a direct precursor to the embryonic plant part?
