In the most common type of endosperm development:
1.  cell wall formation occurs simultaneously with each nuclear division of PEN from the beginning.
2.  the PEN undergoes successive nuclear divisions to give rise to free nuclei and subsequently cell wall formation occurs.
3.  the PEN undergoes one division without cell wall formation and then all subsequent divisions are associated with cell wall formation.
4.  cell wall formation does not take place at all.
