how is zygote and endosperm is formed

Open in App
Solution

Fertilization is the process in which the two sperm nuclei of a pollen grain unite with nuclei of the embryo sac in an angiosperm plant. One sperm nucleus unites with the egg to form the diploid zygote, from which the embryo develops. The other sperm unites with the two nuclei located in a single cell at the center of the embryo sac. Together these nuclei form the triploid nucleus of the cell from which the endosperm develops.
