what is Syngamy ?
An important characteristic of angiosperms is double fertilization, where two nuclei (of sperm) from each of the pollen tubes go on to fertilise two other cells that belong to the ovary. A diploid zygote is formed when one of the sperm cells fertilizes one of the egg cells. An embryo now develops from this diploid zygote. The fusion of the cells in such a scenario is called syngamy. It can be noted that syngamy is also referred to as true fusion and generative fertilisation.
