After double fertilisation, a mature ovule has
I diploid and I haploid cell
1 diploid and I triploid cell
2 haploid and I triploid cell
1 haploid and I triploid cell
B.
1 diploid and I triploid cell
Double fertilisation is found only in angiosperms. In this group of plants, the pollen tube on entering the embryo sac bursts open in one of the two synergids to release the two male gametes.
One male gamete fuses with the egg or oosphere to form a diploid zygote or oospore. It is called generative fertilisation.
The second male gamete descends down and fuses with the diploid secondary nucleus of the central cell to form a triploid primary endosperm cell. It is known as vegetative fertilisation.
Thus, after double fertilisation, a mature angiospermous ovule contains one diploid cell (zygote) and one triploid cell (primary endosperm cell). The haploid cells of the ovule such as antipodals and synergids degenerate after fertilisation

The following is the diagram of T.S. of anther. Identify the parts labelled A, B and C.
A- Connective tissue, B- Pollen grain, C- Endothecium
A- Endothecium, B- Connective tissue, C- Pollen grains
A- Pollen grains, B- Connective tissue, C- Endothecium
A- Endothecium, B- Pollen grains, C- Connective tissue
Assertion : Endothecium layer of anther wall plays an important role in dehiscence of anther.
Reason : The presence of fibrous bands and differential expansion of inner and outer tangential walls of endothecial cells cause dehiscence of anther.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false
