Following statements are regarding to double fertilization in angiosperms.
A. One sperm cell fuses with the egg cell to produce the zygote that will develop into the new embryonic plant.
B. The second sperm cell fuses with the usually binucleate central cell, giving rise to the
endosperm, the tissue that nourishes the developing embryo. This second event is not “true” fertilization in the sense of male and female gametes undergoing fusion.
C. The second sperm cell fuses with the usually binucleate central cell, giving rise to the
endosperm, the tissue that nourishes the developing embryo. This second event is “true” fertilization in the sense of male and female gametes undergoing fusion.
D. During fertilization in angiosperm, when the sperm cells are released, the egg undergoes a flux of Ca2+. Then, chemicals released from the egg appear to make the sperm competent for cell fusion.

During an experiments mutating the conserved cysteine in the LOV1 domain of phot1 does not affect phototropic responsiveness (the seedlings bend toward blue light) whereas the equivalent mutation in LOV2 abolishes the response. What will be the conclusion has been drawn from this experiments?
a) LOV1 domain is secondarily responsible (primarily responsible is LOV2 domain) for kinase activation and LOV1 is not is coupled with the protein region Jα-helix that’s why it does not affect phototropic responsiveness
b) These studies have demonstrated that LOV2 domain is primarily responsible for kinase activation in response to blue light
c) This is due in part to the position of LOV2 within the phototropin molecule, where it is coupled to a protein region known as the Jα-helix
d) The function of LOV2 domain is thought to play a role in receptor dimerization by accomplishing the kinase activation in response to blue light
Which of the correct conclusion drawn from the above experiment?
