In flowering plants, out of the two male gametes discharged in synergids, one fuses with the egg and other fuses with the secondary or definitive nucleus present in central cell.
Egg (n) + 1st male gamete (n)-> Zygote (2n)
Secondary nucleus + 2nd male gamete (n) -> PEN (3n)
[ Secondary nucleus – (2n) – (central cell nuclei)]
