Top Questions on Double Fertilisation
- Assertion: Insects are important pollinators for many flowering plants. Reasoning: Insects visit flowers to obtain nectar or pollen, and in the process, they inadvertently transfer pollen from one flower to another, facilitating cross-pollination.

Questions Asked in NEET exam
- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In C3 plants, some O2 binds to RuBisCO, hence CO, fixation is decreased.
Statement II: In C4 plants, mesophyll cells show very little photorespiration while bundle sheath cells do not show photorespiration.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:- NEET (UG) - 2024

Concepts Used:
Pollination and Double Fertilization
Pollination is defined as the pre-fertilization event or process, where pollen grains from another are transferred to the stigma of a flower.
Double fertilization is a complex process that involves the fusion of one female gametophyte with two male gametes.
Types of Pollination:
All plants having flowers completely rely on the pollination method for reproduction. There are 2 types of pollination –
- Self Pollination
- Cross-Pollination
The end products of double fertilization are:
- Diploid Zygote
- Primary Endosperm Nucleus
