Which flower spreads their pollen by wind or insects?

Draw and explain the three steps of fertilization

FERTILIZATION

• THE POLLEN GRAIN LANDS ON THE STIGMA
• THE POLLEN  FORMS A TUBE AND THE NUCLEUS GOES DOWN  THE STYLE
• THE POLLEN NUCLEUS MELTS TOGETHER WITH THE EGG NUCLEUS IN THE OVULE TO FORM A SEED.

What happens after fertilization?

After fertilisation

• A germ/plant embryo develops from the fertilised egg cell  
• The ovule develops into  seeds 
• The ovary grows into fruit containing more seeds
