description about double fertilization
Hi
Double fertilization is a type of fertilization in which two male gametes fuse with single female gamete
- It takes place in plants
- An unfertilized ovum has three antipodal cells, 1 egg cell along with two synergids and 2 polar central cells
- First male gamete fuses with egg cell and this process is called syngamy another male gamete fuses with polar central cell called triple fusion.
Thus , as fertilization takes place two times in this process it is known as double fertilization
Thank you
