The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "In majority of plants fertilization is," we will analyze the options provided and determine the correct answer step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Fertilization**: - Fertilization is the process where male and female gametes fuse to form a zygote. This can occur either internally (inside the organism) or externally (outside the organism). 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: External**: This refers to fertilization occurring outside the body. This type is primarily seen in bryophytes (like mosses) and some pteridophytes (like ferns). However, this is not the majority of plants. - **Option 2: Internal Oogamous**: Internal fertilization occurs inside the body, and "oogamous" refers to a type of sexual reproduction where the male and female gametes are different in size and structure (e.g., sperm and egg). This is common in many higher plants (angiosperms). - **Option 3: Isogamous**: Isogamous fertilization involves gametes that are identical in size and shape. This is not typical for the majority of plants; it is more common in certain algae. - **Option 4: External and Oogamous**: This option combines external fertilization with oogamous reproduction. Since external fertilization is not common in the majority of plants, this option is also incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all the options, we find that the majority of plants exhibit internal fertilization and are oogamous. Therefore, the correct answer is **Option 2: Internal Oogamous**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Option 2: Internal Oogamous**.
