what is double and single fertilisation?

Dear student,                                 
Please find below the links to the asked query  

Double fertilization is a characteristic feature of flowering plants. In the process of double fertilization out of the two sperm nucleus, one sperm nucleus fuses with the egg nucleus to form an embryo ( process is called syngamy) and another fuses with polar nuclei to form endosperm ( process is called triple fusion). Since two kinds of fusion—syngamy and triple fusion—take place, the process is known as double fertilisation

Single fertilization is the simple fusion of the male and the female gametes with each other to give rise to a single-celled zygote. The zygote then undergoes repeated divisions to give rise to a new individual.

Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.

Of the two sperm cells, one sperm fertilizes the egg cell, forming a diploid zygote; the other sperm fuses with the two polar nuclei, forming a triploid cell that develops into the endosperm. Together, these two fertilizationevents in angiosperms are known as double fertilization


The process by which two gametes (reproductive cells having a single, haploid set of chromosomes) fuse to become a zygote, which develops into a new organism. The resultant zygote is diploid (it has two sets of chromosomes). In cross-fertilization, the two gametes come from two different individual organisms. .
