What is the importance of triple fusion? |
|
Answer» The result of the triple fusion is the formation of a triploid nucleus called a primary endosperm nucleus. This nucleus by repeated mitotic divisions gives rise to the formation of the endosperm. This endosperm provides nourishment to the developing embryo. It is a unique event in the entire living world where a triploid tissue nourishes a diploid tissue, and also that the nourishing tissue has genome both of maternal as well as paternal parents |
