Double fertilisation is a characteristic feature of which plant group?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Angiosperms
Double fertilisation is a defining reproductive feature of angiosperms. One male gamete fuses with the egg in syngamy to form the diploid zygote. The other fuses with the two polar nuclei in triple fusion to form the usually triploid primary endosperm nucleus. These two linked fusions distinguish angiosperm reproduction from the usual patterns in the other listed groups.
