Double fertilisation is [2018]
(4)
Double fertilisation is unique and universal feature of angiosperms. Total number of nuclei involved in double fertilisation is five, i.e., 2 in syngamy and 3 in triple fusion. Syngamy is fusion of one male gamete with egg to form zygote. Triple fusion occurs when the second male gamete fuses with 2 polar nuclei or secondary nucleus to form triploid primary endosperm nucleus.
