Where can I find the endosperm?

Are all seeds endosperm-free?

Endosperm. The endosperm can be found in many monocot seed. It results from the fusion of one sperm nucleus with two female polar nuclei in double fertilization. Endosperm is a component of all dicot seeds. It is formed during seed development.

What is endosperm, and how does it form? Endosperm forms when two sperm nuclei from a pollen grains reach the embryo sac or inside of an egg. One sperm body fertilizes an egg and forms a zygote. The other sperm body usually fuses with two polar nuclei in the embryo sac.

It is also important to understand what happens to the endosperm.

Endosperm. Endosperm is tissue that surrounds and nurtures an embryo in the seeds for angiosperms, which are flowering plants. Some seeds have the endosperm completely absorbed by maturity, such as peas and beans. The embryo is then fed fleshy food-storing and cotyledons while it germinates.

What makes endosperm triploid and why?

Double fertilization is a common process during the formation of angiosperms' endosperm. This is why endosperm can be triploid. This is how it works: One haploid sperm of each sexe enters the embryo sac, and then fuses with the two polar nuclei. Each nuclei is haploid.
