Why is the process of fertilization in angiosperms termed as double fertilization?

Answer»

Of the TWO sperm cells, one sperm FERTILIZES the egg CELL, forming a diploid zygote; the other sperm fuses with the two polar nuclei, forming a triploid cell that DEVELOPS into the endosperm. Together, these two fertilization events inangiosperms are known as double fertilization.
