Question

In the angiosperm life cycle, fertilization occurs between which two structures?

Options

• Anther and ovule

• Microspore and megaspore

• Sperm and pollen grain

• Male and female gametes

Answer 1

Fertilization is the fusion of the male gamete (produced by the male gametophyte) and the female gamete (produced by the female gametophyte). This fusion results in the formation of a diploid zygote, which marks the beginning of the sporophytic phase.
