Question

State whether the following statement is true or false.

The process of double fertilization, discovered by Nawaschin in 1898, is exclusive to the angiosperms.

Answer 1

This statement is true.

Explanation:

Double fertilization, discovered by S.G. Nawaschin in 1898, is a unique process exclusive to angiosperms where one male gamete fuses with the egg and the other with the polar nuclei, forming a diploid zygote and triploid endosperm, respectively. This process is essential for viable seed formation in angiosperms.
