Double fertilization: pollen tube delivering two male gametes to the embryo sac, forming zygote and endosperm

Double fertilisation in angiosperms: one male gamete fuses with the egg to form the diploid zygote (syngamy), while the second fuses with the two polar nuclei to form the triploid primary endosperm nucleus (triple fusion). Image: Triploid, CC BY 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons.

Q1.

The tapetum is the innermost wall layer of the anther and mainly serves to:

  • A Nourish the developing pollen grains
  • B Protect the ovule from drying
  • C Anchor the stigma to the style
  • D Store starch for the fruit

Q2.

A typical mature dicot pollen grain shed from the anther is usually at which stage?

  • A 1-celled
  • B 2-celled
  • C 4-celled
  • D 8-celled

Q3.

In a typical anatropous ovule, the stalk that attaches the ovule to the placenta is the:

  • A Raphe
  • B Hilum
  • C Funicle
  • D Chalaza

Q4.

The narrow pore in the ovule through which the pollen tube usually enters is the:

  • A Raphe
  • B Chalaza
  • C Hilum
  • D Micropyle

Q5.

A mature embryo sac of a typical angiosperm is best described as:

  • A 7-celled and 8-nucleate
  • B 8-celled and 8-nucleate

  • D 7-celled and 7-nucleate

Q6.

The flower is the organ of _____ reproduction in flowering plants:

  • A Vegetative
  • B Sexual
  • C Asexual
  • D All types of

Q7.

Pollen grains are produced in the:

  • A Pistil, the female reproductive structure
  • B Ovary, where ovules later develop into seeds
  • C Anther of the stamen
  • D Petal, the colorful part attracting pollinators

Q8.

The transfer of pollen from anther to stigma is called:

  • A Fertilization
  • B Germination
  • C Pollination
  • D Dispersal

Q9.

The female reproductive part of a flower is the:

  • A Stamen, the male reproductive structure
  • B Petal, the often brightly colored part
  • C Carpel (pistil)
  • D Sepal, the protective outer floral whorl

Q10.

After fertilization, the ovule becomes the:

  • A Fruit
  • B Seed
  • C Flower
  • D Pollen
