- Occurs Mostly in Angiosperms
- pollen tube contains two haploid (1n) sperm
- one sperm fuses with or fertilizes an egg to produce a diploid (2n) zygote which becomes the seed
- The second sperm fuses with two, usually haploid, polar nuclei to form a triploid (3n) nucleus which becomes the endosperm
