11. Double fertilization means that ________. - Answer -B) one sperm is needed to
fertilize the egg, and a second sperm is needed to fertilize the polar nuclei
12. A typical angiosperm embryo sac (female gametophyte) has ________ cells. -

20. Many flowering plants coevolve with specific pollinators. The Madagascar orchid
has a 12-inch floral tube and is a reliable nectar source for the hawkmoth, which has a
correspondingly long proboscis (tongue). Which statement most accurately describes
how coevolution might have occurred for the hawkmoth and Madagascar orchid? -
Answer -B) Natural selection would favor orchids with nectar tubes just long enough to
for an insect with pollen to make contact. Hawkmoths whose tongue could reach the
deep tubes would be more fit.

egg, and a second sperm is needed to fertilize the polar nuclei
