The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, we need to understand the processes that occur in angiosperms during fertilization and subsequent development. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Fertilization in Angiosperms**: - In angiosperms (flowering plants), a unique process called double fertilization occurs. This involves the fusion of two male gametes (sperm cells) with different female structures in the ovule. 2. **Formation of the Zygote**: - One of the male gametes fuses with the egg cell (female gamete), resulting in the formation of a zygote. The zygote is a diploid structure, meaning it contains two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent). 3. **Development of the Zygote**: - The zygote then develops into the embryo. This is the early stage of the new plant that will eventually grow into a mature plant. 4. **Formation of the Primary Endosperm Cell**: - The second male gamete fuses with the central cell, which contains two polar nuclei. This fusion results in the formation of the primary endosperm nucleus, which is a triploid structure (three sets of chromosomes). 5. **Development of Endosperm Tissue**: - The primary endosperm nucleus then develops into the endosperm tissue. The endosperm serves as a food reserve for the developing embryo within the seed. 6. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the zygote develops into the **embryo**, and the primary endosperm cell forms the **endosperm** tissue in angiosperms. ### Final Answer: Zygote develops into the **embryo** and the primary endosperm cell forms the **endosperm** tissue in angiosperm. ---
