How does the process of fertilisation take place in flower
Answers
Answer:
When pollen lands on stigma, it germinates and gives rise to a pollen tube that passes through the style and reaches the ovary of a pistil. When the pollen tube reaches an ovule, it releases the male gametes. A male gamete fuses with a female gamete in the ovule. This process is known as fertilisation.
Answer
Fertilization is the union of male and female gametes to form zygote.
Fertilization begins when a pollen grain lands on the stigma of the carpel. Then it bursts open and forms a pollen tube. Pollen tube downwards through the style and finally reaches the ovule in the ovary. The male gamete present in the pollen grain moves through the pollen tube and fertilizes the ovum present in the ovule, i.e., fertilization takes place. The fertilization leads to the formation of zygote which later develops into an embryo. The following picture shows the fertilization in plants:
