Evaluate these statements about double fertilization. Select True or False for each sentence.
T/FTwo zygotes are formed, but only one survives.
T/FOne sperm fuses with an egg while the other sperm fuses with polar nuclei.
T/FIt results in the formation of a diploid embryo and triploid endosperm.
T/FBoth sperm involved in double fertilization form within the same pollen tube.

b. One fertilizes an egg, and the other is kept in reserve
c. Both fertilize a single egg cell
d. One fertilizes an egg, and the other fertilizes a cell that develops into stored food
