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.

Cyanogenic Glycosides and Glucosinolates are nitrogen containing secondary metabolites in plants. Following are some statements regarding the action of Cyanogenic Glycosides and Glucosinolates;

a) Cyanogenic Glycosides release the poison hydrogen cyanide by the action of enzyme known as Hydroxynitrile lyase

b) Release of the mustard-smelling volatiles from glucosinolates is catalyzed by a hydrolytic enzyme, called a thioglucosidase or myrosinase

c) substerate for Glycosidase is Cyanogenic glycoside and Thioglucosidase is Aglycone

d) Like cyanogenic glycosides, glucosinolates are stored in the intact plant separately from the enzymes that hydrolyze them, and they are brought into contact with these enzymes only when the plant is crushed
