Angiosperm

Double fertilization is a unique characteristic of angiosperms. At the time of fertilization, a pollen tube is formed which contains two male gametes The first male gamete fuses with the egg cell to form a zygote, while the second male gamete fuses with the diploid central cell of embryo sac to form a triploid endosperm cell. This process is known as double fertilization.
