micropyle
 This is opposite the micropylar end, and represents the

basal part of the ovule; they project from the equatorial region of the

vitelline membrane into the albumen

Each ovule has one or two protective envelopes called

integuments which forms into seed coats after fertilization as the

ovule matures.

Of the two sperm cells, one sperm fertilizes the egg cell, forming a diploid
zygote; the other sperm fuses with the two polar nuclei, forming a triploid

cell that develops into the endosperm.

Fertilized endosperm cell is a tissue that surrounds and nourishes

the embryo in the seeds of angiosperms. The zygote has three

general tissues that undergoes further cell division to become

specific tissues.

Fertilized endosperm cell is the food storage for a developing

embryo. For the embryo of a seed, the food is stored in the

cotyledon.
placenta. Its function is to allow for nutrients to be passed through
it, exchange gases, and other chemicals between the fetal blood

and the maternal blood. It also functions as an endocrine organ

secreting hormones. It also provides a barrier to diseases.

Umbilical cord. The umbilical cord transports blood to and from the

foetus. It also attaches the placenta to the foetus and any

impairment in blood flow within the cord can be catastrophic for the

foetus.
 The placenta

When a woman drinks vast quantity of alcohol during her pregnancy, the
foetus may suffer from mental retardation, have abnormalities in facial

features, born with low birth weight, growth defects and damage to their

central nervous system.

The placenta is not an effective barrier against substances as harmful

chemicals found in cigarettes, alcohol and other drugs can cross the

placenta and cause damage to the developing organs in the foetus.
