Question
Chapter 40.4, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason behind the presence of low endosperm levels in eudicot mature seeds.
Introduction: The fusion of male and female gametes results in the process of fertilization. The process of embryogenesis takes place after the fertilization of gametes. After a certain period of time, the embryo gets covered by a seed coat and the formation of seed takes place. The ovules, after fertilization, result in the formation of seeds.
