Double Fertilization in Angiosperms

Asked by Siddharth Choudhury · 2 years ago

What is double fertilization in flowering plants?

1 Answer

Double fertilization is a unique process in angiosperms where one sperm cell fertilizes the egg, forming a zygote, and the other sperm cell fuses with two polar nuclei to form the triploid endosperm. This process ensures the formation of both embryo and nutrient-rich endosperm.
