Which nutritive tissue develops as a result of triple fusion?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Endosperm
Triple fusion produces the primary endosperm nucleus, usually with triploid chromosome number. This nucleus divides and develops into endosperm, a nutritive tissue that supports the developing embryo, often by supplying stored nutrients. The embryo develops from the zygote, the seed coat from integuments, and the anther is a pre-existing floral organ.
