Flower & Double Fertilisation

Medium+80 XP

Plants do something animals never do: fertilise an egg AND make food simultaneously in the same event. One pollen tube delivers two sperm. Watch double fertilisation happen.

Pollen tube grows through style → enters ovule via micropyle.
Embryo sac (female gametophyte): 7 cells, 8 nuclei (3 antipodals, 2 polar, 1 egg, 2 synergids).
