After double fertilization, the development of the endosperm precedes the development of the embryo because:
| 1. | The endosperm provides structural support |
| 2. | The endosperm supplies nutrients to the developing embryo |
| 3. | The endosperm aids in seed dispersal |
| 4. | The endosperm protects the embryo from desiccation |

2. There is no double fertilization in them
3. Endosperm is not formed in them
4. Endosperm gets used up by the developing embryo during seed development
