Vedclass · Answer

(B) In angiosperms,the process of double fertilization involves the fusion of one male gamete with two polar nuclei to form the primary endosperm nucleus $(PEN)$.Since the male gamete is haploid $(n)$ and the two polar nuclei are also haploid $(n + n)$,their fusion results in a triploid $(3n)$ structure.Therefore,the endosperm in angiosperms is triploid $(3n)$.
