Question

difference

between fertilization and germination

Answer 1

The main differencebetween fertilization and germination is that fertilization is the fusion of gametes, which forms the zygote whereas germination is the development of a plant from seed or spore under favorable conditions. Fertilization occurs after the pollination in flowering plants. The zygote is the result of fertilization that develops into the embryo. The embryo of the seed plants is contained inside the seed. Under favorable conditions, the seed absorbs water, and the root grows through the seed coat. Fertilization occurs in all types of organisms that produce gametes while germination only occurs in fungi and plants.
