Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

Double fertilization is a complex fertilization mechanism of flowering plants.
This process involves the joining of female gametophyte with two male gametes. 
In this case, syngamy between male and female gametes produces the embryo. 
At the same time, the secondary nuclei which are diploid in nature will fuse with another male gamete and forms the endosperm. It was first explained by Nawaschin.
Hence, the correct option is C.

1. Myc a. Myc is a transcription factor protein that regulates the expression of genes involved in cell growth and proliferation. On the molecular level, it binds to specific DNA sequences and activates or represses gene transcription. b. In cancer cells, Myc is often overexpressed due to gene amplification or chromosomal rearrangements. c. oncogene 2. EGF a. EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) is a signaling protein that binds to the EGF receptor and activates downstream signaling pathways involved in cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. b. In cancer cells, the EGF receptor can be overexpressed or mutated, leading to constitutive activation of the signaling pathways even in the absence of EGF binding. c. oncogene 3. AKT a. AKT (also known as protein kinase B) is a serine/threonine kinase that plays a crucial role in cell survival, growth, and metabolism. It is activated by various growth factors and promotes cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis and stimulating cell proliferation. b. In cancer cells, AKT signaling pathway can be hyperactivated due to mutations or amplification of AKT gene or other components of the pathway. c. oncogene 4. APC a. APC (Adenomatous Polyposis Coli) is a tumor suppressor protein that regulates the Wnt signaling pathway and controls cell proliferation and differentiation. It acts as a negative regulator by promoting the degradation of β-catenin, a key component of the pathway. b. In cancer cells, APC gene is often mutated, leading to the stabilization and accumulation of β-catenin, which results in uncontrolled cell proliferation. c. tumor suppressor
