When usingthe standard proteins it is typically assumed that the vv values of thestandard and actually measured protein are identical. With thisassumption, the ratio of the molecular masses of the two proteins isidentical to the ratio of their I(0)s normalized against the concen-trations.
The gametes (an egg and a sperm) fuse in the process of syngamy to form a 2 n zygote. The zygote divides mitotically to form a multicellular embryo ( embryogenesis), which is protected by either gametophytic tissues (such as remnants of archegonia in the nonseed land plants) or sporophytic tissues (the seed in the seed plants). An embryo,...
13. A typical seed is composed of the embryo, endosperm and shell. Within seeds of angiosperms, there are one or two cotyledons (seed leaves, one in monocots, two in dicots). The endosperm is the tissue within the seed that has the function of nourishing the embryo.
