Chapter 38, Problem 2TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Double fertilization is a process in which one sperm fuses with an egg and forms a zygote and the other fuses with the two polar nuclei and forms a triploid cell, which develops into an endosperm. The zygote divides and results in the formation of a sporophyte embryo. The endosperm acts as a food reserve for the embryo.
