The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the term that describes the fusion of the male nucleus (from the sperm) with the egg nucleus (from the ovum). 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: - Male nucleus: This refers to the nucleus of the sperm, which is haploid. - Egg nucleus: This refers to the nucleus of the egg (ovum), which is also haploid. - Fusion: This indicates a process where two nuclei combine. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Syngamy**: This term refers specifically to the fusion of male and female gametes, resulting in the formation of a diploid zygote. - **Double Fertilization**: This is a process that occurs in angiosperms where one sperm fertilizes the egg and another sperm fuses with the polar nuclei. - **Conjugation**: This is a process related to bacteria where genetic material is exchanged between cells. - **Triple Fusion**: This refers to the fusion of one male gamete with two polar nuclei, forming a triploid endosperm. 4. **Selecting the Correct Answer**: - The correct answer is **syngamy**, as it specifically describes the fusion of the male nucleus and the egg nucleus. 5. **Conclusion**: The process of fusion between the male nucleus and the egg nucleus is called **syngamy**. ---
