Describe the process of fertilisation in angiosperm
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for a detailed explanation of the process of fertilization in flowering plants (angiosperms). This will involve discussing the interactions between male and female gametes, the formation of the zygote, and any relevant structures involved in the process.
Answer
Double fertilization in angiosperms involves one sperm fertilizing the egg to form a zygote and another sperm fusing with two polar nuclei to form the endosperm.
The final answer is the process of double fertilization in which one sperm cell fertilizes the egg to form a zygote, and the other sperm cell fuses with two polar nuclei to form the endosperm.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is the process of double fertilization in which one sperm cell fertilizes the egg to form a zygote, and the other sperm cell fuses with two polar nuclei to form the endosperm.
More Information
Double fertilization is unique to angiosperms and ensures that the developing embryo has a food supply (endosperm). This efficient allocation of resources is one reason angiosperms are the most diverse group of plants.
Tips
A common mistake is failing to distinguish between the roles of the two sperm cells. Only one fertilizes the egg; the other contributes to endosperm formation.
