Dоuble Fertilizаtiоn in Angiоsperms The аngiosperm life cycle consists of а diploid stage and a haploid stage. The cycle starts with an adult sporophyte flower which shows its anther, stigma, and ovary. It leads to an enlarged view of the ovary and anther. The ovary shows the ovule inside which the megaspore of the mother cell lies. The megaspore undergoes meiosis and forms 4 cells which undergo mitosis and develop into an egg with polar nuclei inside the ovule. The enlarged view of the anther shows the microspores of the mother cell. The pollen grains from the anther shed and undergo mitosis. Each cell of the pollen enters the style via the stigma. The enlarged view of the pollen tube that passes through the stigma is shown at this stage. It has sperm and a tube nucleus inside. The enlarged view of pollen from the pollen tube shows the degenerative cell and the tube nucleus. The sperm reaches the ovule. Sperm and egg undergo double fertilization and form a zygote with endosperm (stored food). The zygote undergoes mitosis and develops into a seed. Inside the seed an embryo with two cotyledons is present. The seed undergoes germination and develops into a young sporophyte which leads to an adult sporophyte. The cycle continues again.
