Assertion: In angiosperms, the first fertilization is called syngamy.
Reason: Second fertilization is called vegetative fertilization.

Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Fusion of the egg nucleus with sperm nucleus is called syngamy. As, in this process fusion product is diploid zygote or oospore, it is called generative fertilization. It is also called first fertilization as the first sperm fuses with the egg. The second male gamete fuses with the diploid secondary nucleus of the central cell to form a triploid primary endosperm cell. It is known as vegetative fertilization.
