Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Fusion of second male gamete with secondary nucleus (fusion of product of two polar nuclei) is called Triple fusion.
It occurs in the embryosac. Pollen tube with two male gametes enters into embryosac by destroying one of the synergids.
The tip of the pollen tube dissolves and releases two male gametes in the vicinity of the egg. In tripple fusion one male gamete and secondary nucleus (two polar nuclei) are involved.
