Double fertilization, a characteristic feature of angiosperms, was discovered independently by Sergei Nawaschin and Léon Guignard. in France. It involves the joining of a female gametophyte with two male gametes. In double fertilization, the maternal contribution to the genetic constitution of the endosperm is: 
1. same that of the embryo
2. double that of the embryo
3. triple that of embryo
4. quadruple that of embryo
