The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding how multiple embryos are produced in some angiosperms and gymnosperms, we can break down the information provided in the video transcript into clear steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Multiple Embryos**: - Multiple embryos refer to the formation of more than one embryo from a single fertilization event or from other cellular divisions. 2. **Double Fertilization**: - In some angiosperms, multiple embryos can be produced through a process called double fertilization. - This occurs when the synergids or antipodal cells in the ovule are fertilized, leading to the formation of multiple embryos. 3. **Cleavage of a Single Zygote**: - Another way multiple embryos can be formed is through the cleavage of a single zygote. - After fertilization, the zygote can undergo mitotic divisions, leading to the formation of two or more embryos from the original zygote. 4. **Division of New Cellulose or Integument Cells**: - Additionally, multiple embryos can arise from the division of one or more cells of the new cellulose or integument. - These cells can also undergo division, contributing to the formation of multiple embryos. 5. **Conclusion**: - All the mentioned methods (double fertilization, cleavage of a zygote, and division of new cellulose or integument cells) can lead to the production of multiple embryos in angiosperms and gymnosperms. - Therefore, the correct answer is that multiple embryos are produced through all of these ways. ### Final Answer: Multiple embryos in some angiosperms and gymnosperms are produced by: - Double fertilization of synergids or antipodal cells. - Cleavage of a single zygote. - Division of one or more cells of new cellulose or integument. Thus, all of these methods are correct. ---
