Describe double fertilization

Double Fertilization occurs when a female gametophyte is joined with 2 male gamete. This happens in angiosperm plants, which is capable of having asexual or sexual reproduction. A diploid zygote and triploid endosperm form during Double Fertilization. When the haploid sperm cell joins with a haploid egg cell in order to try and form a diploid zygote, which allows the outcome to develop into a embryo. The ovary develops into a fruin in order to protect the seeds that may help distribute.
