• B. Are formed by fusion of gametes
• C. Are formed by fusion of pollen tubes
• D. Can survive for longer periods

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The correct option is B Are formed by fusion of gametes

• Seeds are called products of sexual reproduction because they are formed only after the fusion of male and female gametes. This process is called fertilization, where one of the male gametes that have entered the ovule through an opening called micropyle, fertilizes the egg cell (female gamete).
• The resulting zygote forms the embryo, which develops within the ovule which becomes a seed.

So, the correct answer is 'Are formed by fusion of gametes'.
