The double fertilization characteristic of angiosperms results in the formation of: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The double fertilization characteristic of angiosperms results in the formation of:
A. Two embryos
B. Two zygotes
C. Zygote and embryo sac
D. Zygote and endosperm
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Double fertilization involves one male gamete fusing with the egg cell to form a diploid zygote, and the second male gamete fusing with the two polar nuclei (central cell) to form a triploid primary endosperm nucleus. The endosperm provides nutrition to the developing embryo. This unique feature ensures efficient nutrient supply and is typical of angiosperms.

Question #1
The structure that allows the exchange of gases and nutrients between the mother and fetus is the:
A. Amnion
B. Placenta
C. Umbilical cord
D. Chorion

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The placenta is a vascular organ formed from fetal chorion and maternal decidua, facilitating exchange without mixing blood. The umbilical cord connects fetus to placenta.

Question #2
The hormone that stimulates the synthesis of milk in the mammary glands is:
A. Prolactin
B. Oxytocin
C. Progesterone
D. Estrogen

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Prolactin, secreted by the anterior pituitary, is the primary hormone responsible for milk synthesis (lactation) after childbirth. Oxytocin causes milk ejection (let-down reflex). Estrogen and progesterone stimulate mammary duct and alveolar development during pregnancy but inhibit milk secretion; after delivery, their levels drop, allowing prolactin to act.

Question #3
The technique used to measure the concentration of a solution based on light absorption is:
A. Electrophoresis
B. Centrifugation
C. Spectrophotometry
D. Chromatography

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Spectrophotometry measures the absorbance of light by a solution at a specific wavelength, which is proportional to the concentration of the absorbing substance (Beer-Lambert law).
