2. 46 chromosomes.
The structure grown by a pollen grain that contains two sperm nuclei is called the pollen tube. The pollen tube is responsible for delivering the sperm nuclei to the ovule for fertilization in plants.
A cells with many nuclei is often called a syncytium. The normal cell structure for many types of fungi is a syncytium.
This is called FERTILIZATION. It means that the specific sperm cell that would later become a child, when the nuclei of the egg and sperm cell, joins with the egg. The fetus will begin to form when the nuclei of the two cells join, however it may take a while until the fertilization is complete.
The polar nuclei in an embryo sac are involved in the process of double fertilization in plants. One of the polar nuclei fuses with a sperm cell, leading to the formation of endosperm tissue, while the other polar nucleus may fuse with another sperm cell or remain unfertilized. The endosperm provides nutrients for the developing embryo in seeds.
Endosperm formation is triggered by fertilization because it involves the fusion of the two sperm cells with different nuclei in the embryo sac, leading to the triploid (3n) condition necessary for endosperm development. Without fertilization, the endosperm would not receive the necessary genetic contribution to develop properly and support the growing embryo.

The nuclei of the egg and sperm cells fuse to form the fertilized egg.
Polar nuclei are typically haploid. In the context of plant reproduction, specifically within the embryo sac of angiosperms, polar nuclei are formed from the fusion of two haploid nuclei. These nuclei eventually contribute to the formation of the triploid endosperm when fertilization occurs.
The joining of a male and female nuclei is called fertilization. This process typically occurs during the fusion of sperm and egg cells, resulting in the formation of a zygote. Fertilization is a crucial step in sexual reproduction, leading to the development of a new organism.
a. the union of male and female gametic nuclei. b. the enrichment of soil, as for the production of crops.
The nuclei of the egg and sperm cells fuse to form the fertilized egg.
The Generative nucleus arrives at the embryo sac inside the ovule and undergoes division to produce two haploid male nuclei. One of the male nuclei fuses with the haploid female gamete nucleus and for a diploid zygote. The other Male nuclei fuses with 2 polar female gametes to produce the triploid nucleus. This is known as the endosperm nucleus and it acts as a food source for developing zygote.
