Double fertilization is a type fertilization mechanism of flowering plants. In this process the generative nucleus in the pollen tube undergoes mitotic division to produce two male gametes. Out of the two male gametes one gamete fuses with the egg nucleus while the other fuses with the polar nuclei to form PEN. Since, fusion occurs twice the process is known as double fertilization.
After fertilization:
i)The Ovary of the flower develops and becomes a fruit.
ii)The Ovule of the flower develops and becomes a seed.

The role of calcium in muscle contraction is to detach myosin heads from actin. Introduction: Calcium ions play important role in the muscle contraction. The muscle contraction in skeletal muscles is initiated when the calcium ions bind to the troponin that is linked to the actin filament. Then, calcium ion induces a change in the configuration of the troponin complex. Thus, tropomyosin shifts from the actin filament to the myosin head that initiates contraction.
