5
Describe the angiosperm life cycle (1 - 5).
1. Microsporangia in anthers produce pollen (microspores) by meoisis.
2. Microspores germinate, form 3-nucleate microgametophytes with 2 sperm cells.
3. Megasporangia in ovules produce megaspores by meoisis.
4. Megaspores develop into 8-nucleate megagametophytes with 1 egg cell.
5. Double fertilization produces an embryo in a seed (from ovule) in a fruit (from ovary)
