(a) A fertilised ovum is a zygote. As part of the spermatogenesis and oogenesis processes, the germ cells go through meiosis to achieve a haploid state (n). A chromosomal set in zygote is reinstated in a diploid state (2n) by the sperm and unfertilized ovum.

(b) One sperm nucleus (1N) from a pollen grain and two polar nuclei (2N) from an embryo sac fuse to generate a triploid (3N) primary endosperm nucleus (PEN). Triple fusion is the term for this.
