Solution

Double fertilization is a unique process that occurs in angiosperms, or flowering plants. Here's what each statement means:

  1. "A diploid zygote is formed." - This is true. During double fertilization, one sperm cell fertilizes the egg cell to form a diploid zygote. This zygote will eventually develop into the embryo.

  2. "Two diploid zygotes form." - This is false. Only one diploid zygote is formed during double fertilization. The other sperm cell fertilizes two polar nuclei to form a triploid cell, not a second diploid zygote.

  3. "Endosperm will form." - This is true. The triploid cell mentioned above develops into the endosperm, which provides nourishment to the developing embryo.

So, the correct answers are "A diploid zygote is formed" and "Endosperm will form."
