In the given diagram showing T.S. of a typical angiosperm anther, the cells of which part are most likely to undergo mitosis, that is not normal, due to which many of them become bi or multinucleate?

Double fertilization, a characteristic feature of angiosperms, was discovered independently by Sergei Nawaschin and Léon Guignard. in France. It involves the joining of a female gametophyte with two male gametes. In double fertilization, the maternal contribution to the genetic constitution of the endosperm is:
1. same that of the embryo
2. double that of the embryo
3. triple that of embryo
4. quadruple that of embryo
Plant species pollinated by water fall into two categories:
