The mature seeds of plants such as gram and peas, posses no endosperm, because

1. These plants are not angiosperms

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

Endosperm development precedes embryo development because

1. It is  a product of triple fusiony

2. It provides nutrition to developing embryo

3. It is larger than embryo

4. Its development mostly occurs by free nuclear division in PEN
