My Mini Me's Reproduction

How my children reproduce is just like any other flowering plant, and all monocots and dicots are considered flowering plants, or Angiosperms. Being an Angiosperm means that they produce seeds, flower and some produce fruit. Their reproduction is quite simple. Take a look at the diagram and it will explain all.
There is also a phenomenon associated with Angiosperms called Double Fertilization. This is when one egg, or female gamete, is fertilized by two male sperms, or male gametes. This results in one forming the diploid zygote and the other forms the triploid primary endosperm nucleus.
