Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Meiosis is an essential part of the process by which individuals produce gametes. The gametes come together to produce a fertilized egg, which develops and grows by mitosis. Finally, the fertilized egg is transported to a place where it can survive and grow. These steps occur in all organisms that reproduce sexually.

B) 100% success: Only 50% of the pollen grains germinated, but each produced 2 sperms to complete double fertilization in 50 seeds. C) 50% success: 50 sperm fertilized 50 eggs, and 50 sperm fused with 50 polar nuclei.
