Why is fertilization in flowering plants called double fertilization?
two cells in the ovule are fertilized, the egg and the endosperm mother cell
it takes the efforts of two flowers (male and female) to produce seeds
two ovules must be fertilized to form a single seed
one pollen grain fertilizes two ovules
it takes two pollen grains to fertilize a single ovule
The embryo of monocotyledonous seed consists
of one large, shield shaped cotyledon. What is it
known as?
