1. Flowering Plants

   Linked via "zygote"

   Reproductive Biology
   Angiosperm reproduction hinges on double fertilization, a hallmark of the group. One sperm nucleus fuses with the egg cell to form the diploid zygote, while the second sperm nucleus fuses with the two polar nuclei of the central cell to form the triploid endosperm, which serves as [nutritive tissue](/entries/nutritive-tissue…

2. Inheritance

   Linked via "zygote"

   Genetic Transmission
   The mechanism of genetic inheritance relies on the transfer of chromosomes during sexual reproduction. In diploid organisms, each parent contributes one set of homologous chromosomes to the zygote. The precise mapping of traits to specific chromosomal locations is termed linkage.
