Answer: Option A,B,C and D.

A) one sperm fuses with an egg and the other fuses with polar nuclei.

B) It results in the formation of diploid embryo and triploid endosperm.

C)Both sperm involved in double fertilization form within the same pollen tube.

D).The diploid nucleus resulting from the second fertilization undergoes meiosis to form endosperm.

Explanation:

Double fertilization is a mechanism that occur in flowering plants(angiosperms) in which two female gametes(embryo sac) is fertilized by two sperms. It starts when pollen grain join to stigma, the pollen grain then grow in the presence of moisture to form pollen tube. The pollen tube released two sperms,One sperm fuses with the egg cell and the other sperm fuses to the two polar nuclei, it produces diploid embryo and triploid endosperm. The diploid nucleus from the second fertilization of polar nuclei, undergoes meiosis to produce endosperm. Double fertilization is important in that it restore stimulus to plants, Ovary develop into fruits and ovule into seeds and it also lead to production of diploid zygotes which develop into new plant.

Answer: Only options A, B, C and D are true statements

A) One sperm fuses with an egg while the other sperm fuses with the polar nuclei.

B) It results in the formation of a diploid embryo and triploid endosperm.

C) Both sperms involved in double fertilization form within the same pollen tube.

- The diploid nucleus resulting from the second fertilization undergoes meiosis to form the endosperm.

Explanation:

Double fertilization is a process that occurs in only flowering plants. It involves the following:

- A pollen grain produces TWO male gametes

- one male gamete fertilize the egg to form a zygote that is DIPLOID (with two basic sets of chromosomes)

- the second male gamete fuses with another cell named POLAR NUCLEI, to form endosperm (the food storing tissue) in the seed. The endosperm formed is TRIPLOID ( it has three sets of chromosomes), having undergone reductive division - meiosis

Thus, the options A, B, C and D are true statements

Why do humans have two sets of teeth??
Tatiana [17]
Around the age of six or seven years, our teeth start to loosen, eventually falling right out. These are what we call milk teeth. Their termination is not a cause for alarm, but rather, a natural process. Soon new teeth replace the ones that are lost. In fact, the deciduous teeth help the permanent teeth erupt in their normal position. Certain of the lower vertebrates, such as sharks and mud puppies, continuously produce new teeth. But most mammals have only two sets. It seems that as you go up on evolutionary scale, there is loss in capacity to replace teeth, scientists say. On the other hand, the teeth become more specialized. For example, in lower organisms, teeth are designed primarily for grabbing and slashing, while in higher animals, they are also adapted for chewing and grinding.

It has been known that in humans the first set of teeth do more than just allow a child to chew. They play a role in stimulating and guiding the growth and development of jawbones and permanent teeth. One of the biggest fallacies is the belief that because deciduous teeth are temporary, they are not important. If a child loses milk teeth prematurely, by accident or because of decay, his jaw and permanent teeth are likely to develop improperly. Prolonged treatment may be needed to set them right.

Another reason for our two sets of teeth is that there is not enough room in a child’s small mouth for the full set of permanent teeth – there are only 20 deciduous teeth, compared with 28 or 32 permanent teeth present in adults.

Hope this helps
