Question

In the process of double fertilization in flowering plants, what are the two main products formed?
Options
A One sperm and one egg
B A zygote and an endosperm
Correct Answer
C Spores and gametes
D Pollen grains and ovules
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Double fertilization involves two fusion events: one sperm fusing with the egg to form the zygote, and a second sperm fusing with the polar nuclei to form the endosperm. Thus, the products are a zygote and an endosperm.

Hint

Recall the two distinct fusion events that characterize double fertilization in angiosperms.
