Question

Assertion (A): Double fertilisation is a characteristic feature of angiosperms.

Reason (R): Double fertilisation leads to the formation of zygote and primary endosperm nucleus.

Options

• Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion.

• Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion.
