Maximum DNA synthesis during the midproliferative phase of the cycle (i.e. cycle days 8â10) correlates with the maximum number of mitoses in both the stromal and epithelial endometrial cellular elements, as well as with the midproliferative peak of plasma estradiol and nuclear estradiol receptors.
Some defining characteristics of angiosperms include flowers, carpels, and the presence of endosperm, a nutritive substance found in seeds, produced via a second fertilization event. However, some current studies suggest that endosperm is not unique to angiosperms.
Seed Growth. In angiosperms, the process of seed development begins with double fertilization and involves the fusion of the egg and sperm nuclei into a zygote. The second part of this process is the fusion of the polar nuclei with a second sperm cell nucleus, thus forming a primary endosperm.
