Which of the Following are True of Most Angiosperms

Question

Which of the following are true of most angiosperms?
A) They have a triploid endosperm within the seed.
B) They have an ovary that becomes a fruit.
C) They have a small (reduced) sporophyte.
D) They have a triploid endosperm within the seed and an ovary that becomes a fruit.
E) They have a triploid endosperm within the seed, an ovary that becomes a fruit, and a small (reduced) sporophyte.

Accepted Answer

Most angiosperms have an ovary that becomes a fruit and a triploid endosperm within the seed. However, not all angiosperms have a small (reduced) sporophyte, so option E is not entirely true. Option A is incorrect because not all angiosperms have a triploid endosperm - it varies depending on the species.
