What are the end products of double fertilisation?

the end products of double fertilisation are primary endosperm cell and diploid zygote. When two pollen grains are taken by pollen tube and it reaches a ovule in the ovary. One germ cell fuses with egg and form zygote which later develops into embryo and other germ cell fuses with bi-nucleate cell and form primary endosperm cell which later develops into endosperm which provide nutrition to the growing embryo.


What is the ploidy level of endosperm of gymnosperm?

Endosperm of gymnosperm is haploid(ploidy n), develop from megaspore (n) before fertilization. ploidy of endosperm in angiosperm is 3n(central cell fused with one male gamete i.e 2n+n).


What feeds the plant embryo?

What is the difference between a zygote and an endosperm?

i)A zygote if formed due to the fusion of two gametes while endosperm is not from the fusion of two gametes. ii)A zygote is of 2n condition while endosperm is of 3n condition iii)A zygote later develops to a plant while endosperm provides nourisment to it. iv)After fertilization it is a fact endosperm develops first then zygote so that the zygote gets the nourishment sufficiently.

What is the function of basal cell and terminal cell in plant embryo development?

terminal cell : provide polarity to the embryo and embryo develops here.. (apical cell) basal cell : develops suspensor which anchors embryo to the endosperm and serve as a nutrient producer.
