What is the correct sequence for fertilization in angiosperms?

A pollen grain lands on the stigma. The tube cell inside the pollen grain elongates to form a pollen tube. The two sperm cells travel through the pollen tube to reach the ovule and the female gametophyte called the embryo sac. One sperm will fuse with the haploid egg cell or ovum to create the zygote (2n) that will develop into the embryo. The other sperm will unite with the diploid central (2n) cell that will develop into the endosperm (3n).
