Maximum DNA synthesis during the midproliferative phase of the cycle (i.e. cycle days 8â10) correlates with the maximum number of mitoses in both the stromal and epithelial endometrial cellular elements, as well as with the midproliferative peak of plasma estradiol and nuclear estradiol receptors.
Some defining characteristics of angiosperms include flowers, carpels, and the presence of endosperm, a nutritive substance found in seeds, produced via a second fertilization event. However, some current studies suggest that endosperm is not unique to angiosperms.
The angiosperms are vascular seed plants in which the ovule (egg) is fertilized and develops into a seed in an enclosed hollow ovary. The ovary itself is usually enclosed in a flower, that part of the angiospermous plant that contains the male or female reproductive organs or both.
