Double fertilization is important to the reproductive process of an angiosperm because it produces:
-a reaction that keeps the plant from dying.
-nutrition for the seed.
-both the zygote and the endosperm.
-a double portion of endosperm.
-None of these choices are true.
Which of the following events must occur before fertilization can happen?
-Double meiosis
-seed coat formation

-Pollination
-fruit development
________is the emergence of the embryo from a seed. Usually, the_______ (structure of the embryo) emerges first. In monocots, the shoot is protected by a sheath called the_______ . In dicots, a(n)______in the hypocotyl or epicotyl protects the apical meristem and developing leaves.
