explain the phenomenon of double fertilization in angiosperms with diagram
Answers
Answer:
double fertilization is the process in which one male gamete fuses with egg and second male gamete fuses with the secondary nucleus in angiosperm. in this process one male gamete fuses with egg which gives rise to zygote which is diploid in nature. this process is called syngamy or generative fertilization. diploid zygote gives rise to embryo.the second male gamete fuses with secondary nucleus and form primary endosperm nucleus which is triploid in nature.

Double fertilization is a characteristic feature of flowering plants. In double fertilization, out of the two sperm nuclei, one sperm nucleus fuses with the egg nucleus to form an embryo. ... The other sperm nucleus fuses with polar nuclei to form endosperm. This process is called triple fusion.
Double fertilization is the process by which two male gametes fuse with the female gamete and the secondary nucleus respectively to form the zygote and the endosperm.
In this, one male gamete fuses with the female gamete and forms the zygote (2n). This later develops in the seed. The second male gamete fuses with the secondary nucleus of the central cell and forms the triploid primary endosperm nucleus (3n). It is called as triple fusion. The primary endosperm nucleus later gives rise to the endosperm. It provides nourishment to the developing embryo.
