Question

The endosperm of an angiospermic plant is:

• A. Haploid
• B. Diploid
• C. Triploid
• D. Polyploid

Hint:

Remember: The endosperm of flowering plants is triploid (3n), formed by the fusion of one male gamete with two polar nuclei. 

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In angiosperms, the endosperm is formed through double fertilization. One sperm nucleus fertilizes the egg to form the zygote (diploid), while the other fuses with the two polar nuclei, forming a triploid (3n) endosperm, which nourishes the embryo.
