What is typically the result of double fertilization in angiosperms? The endosperm develops into a diploid (2n) nutrient tissue. A triploid (3n) zygote is formed. Development of two haploid (n) embryos in every seed. Both a diploid (2n) embryo and triploid (3n) endosperm form.

Describe the development of endosperm after the double fertilization in an angiosperm why does endosperm development precede that of zygote
How does double fertilization occur in flowering plants? a. The two sperm in a pollen tube fertilize the two egg cells present in each female gametophyte. b. One of the two sperm in a pollen tube fertilizes the single egg in a female gametophyte, and the other fuses with the two nuclei present in the central cell. c. Two sperm, one contributed by each of two different pollen tubes, fertilize the two egg cells in a single female gametophyte. d. Two sperm contributed by separate pollen tubes enter a single female gametophyte; one of the sperm fertilizes the egg cell, and the other fertilizes the central cell. e. None of the above is correct.
