The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the fusion of male gamete with diploid secondary nucleus, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Double Fertilization**: - In plants, there is a unique process called double fertilization, which involves two types of fusions. 2. **Identifying the Fusions**: - The first type of fusion is called **syngamy**. This occurs when one male gamete fuses with the egg nucleus, resulting in the formation of a **zygote**. - The second type of fusion is known as **triple fusion**. This occurs when the second male gamete fuses with the diploid secondary nucleus. 3. **Result of Triple Fusion**: - The result of the triple fusion is the formation of a **triploid cell** known as the **primary endosperm nucleus (PEN)**. 4. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the fusion of the male gamete with the diploid secondary nucleus produces **primary endosperm nucleus (PEN)**, and the process is known as **triple fusion**. ### Final Answer: The fusion of male gamete with diploid secondary nucleus produces **primary endosperm nucleus (PEN)** and the process is known as **triple fusion**. ---
