Double fertilization occurs in?

NISHANTH · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: D
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
**Primary Concept**: Double Fertilization
**Related Topics**: Plant Reproduction, Angiosperms, Gymnosperms, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes
**Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of plant classification and reproductive strategies.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
    * Question asks about the occurrence of double fertilization.
    * Options are: pinus, selaginella, funaria, and dalbergia.
**Method & Steps**:
1.  Recall the definition of double fertilization: It's a process unique to angiosperms (flowering plants) involving two fertilization events.
    Reasoning: Double fertilization is a key characteristic distinguishing angiosperms from other plant groups.
2. Identify which of the given options is an angiosperm.
    Working: Pinus is a gymnosperm, Selaginella is a pteridophyte, Funaria is a bryophyte, and Dalbergia is an angiosperm.
3. Conclude that double fertilization occurs in Dalbergia.
    Result: Double fertilization occurs in angiosperms, and Dalbergia is the only angiosperm in the list.
    Verification: The answer aligns with the known plant classification and reproductive processes.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Pinus is a gymnosperm, and double fertilization does not occur in gymnosperms.
[B] :x: Selaginella is a pteridophyte, and double fertilization does not occur in pteridophytes.
[C] :x: Funaria is a bryophyte, and double fertilization does not occur in bryophytes.
[D] ✓: Dalbergia is an angiosperm, where double fertilization is a characteristic feature. 
## LEARNING AIDS
**Common Mistakes**:
1. [Error 1]: Confusing different plant groups and their reproductive methods.
    [How to avoid]: Review plant classifications and their respective reproductive strategies.
2. [Error 2]: Assuming all plants undergo double fertilization.
    [How to avoid]: Remember that double fertilization is specific to angiosperms.
**Quick Tips**:
1. [Helpful shortcut]: Focus on angiosperms when asked about double fertilization.
2. [Memory aid]: Angiosperms = flowering plants = double fertilization.
