Answer 1

B. Seeds are the result of sexual reproduction.
C. Double fertilization is a reproductive process unique to plants.
E. Male and female structures may be present on a single plant.

Option A is incorrect because in some plant species, male and female structures may be present on the same flower, allowing for self-fertilization.

Option F is incorrect because fruit production is the result of sexual reproduction in plants, specifically the development of the ovary after fertilization.
