Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Yolk and endosperm are not both the result of a second fertilization process. Yolk is produced by cells in the ovary while endosperm is produced by cells in the fertilized ovule. A second fertilization process only occurs in plants, resulting in the production of endosperm, not in animals where yolk is produced.
