Multiple Choice QuestionsDouble fertilization involves
fertilization of the egg by two male gametes
fertilization of two eggs in the same embryo sac by two sperms brought by one pollen tube
fertilization of the egg and the central cell by two sperms brought by different pollen tubes
fertilization of the egg and the central cell by two sperms brought by the same pollen tube.
The pollen tube usually enters the embryo sac
through one of the synergids
by directly penetrating the egg
between one synergid and central cell
by knocking off the antipodal cells.
A.
through one of the synergids
The pollen tube arrives in the micropyle of the integument of the ovule, and enters the embryo sac.
The synergids of the embryo sac literally put their energies together to burst the end of the pollen tube. Meanwhile, the generative cell has followed the pathway digested by the tube cell. Along the way it has divided to produce two sperm cells. The two sperm cells exit the pollen tube through the burst end.
One sperm cell unites with the egg. This process is called syngamy (union of gametes) or [gag] fertilization. I much prefer syngamy to fertilization (see below). The product of the union of egg and sperm is called a zygote, and it has two sets of master plans, one from each gamete. The zygote will divide and grow and differentiate to become a new embryonic plant with root, stem, and leaf. Ultimately it will become an adult plant.
