Solution
- The pollen grain germinates over the stigma and gives rise to pollen tube.
- The pollen tube bursts and releases two male gametes in the embryo sac.
- One male gamete fuses with the egg cell to form the zygote, whereas the second male gamete fuses with two polar nuclei in the embryo sac to form an endosperm.
- Since, in flowering plants, the process of fertilization occurs twice in the same embryo sac, by two male gametes, it is called as double fertilization.
