What is implantation and double fertilisation
Dear student,
Fertilization of the egg takes place in the fallopian tube and then it travels to the uterus where the zygote sticks to the walls of the uterus. This sticking of zygote to the wall of the uterus is called as implantation.
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 fertilization.
