The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about double fertilization in the embryo sac, let's analyze each of the given statements step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Double Fertilization**: - In flowering plants (angiosperms), double fertilization is a unique process where one male gamete fuses with the egg cell and another male gamete fuses with the polar nuclei in the central cell of the embryo sac. 2. **Analyzing Statement I**: - **Statement**: Formation of double zygote. - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. In double fertilization, only one zygote is formed when one male gamete fuses with the egg cell. 3. **Analyzing Statement II**: - **Statement**: Fusion between egg and male gamete. - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. One male gamete fuses with the egg cell to form the zygote. 4. **Analyzing Statement III**: - **Statement**: Formation of perisperm. - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. Double fertilization leads to the formation of endosperm, not perisperm. 5. **Analyzing Statement IV**: - **Statement**: Fusion between secondary nucleus and male gamete. - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. The second male gamete fuses with the secondary nucleus (formed by the fusion of polar nuclei) to form the endosperm. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the evaluations, the correct statements regarding double fertilization are: - Statement II (Fusion between egg and male gamete) is correct. - Statement IV (Fusion between secondary nucleus and male gamete) is also correct. - Therefore, the correct answer is that statements II and IV are correct. ### Final Answer: The correct statements regarding double fertilization in the embryo sac are II and IV. ---
