Pollen must be carried from the anther to the stigma

Multiple Choice
The diagram shows a process in plant reproduction.
Which process is represented by arrow X?
fertilization
pollen tube growth
pollination
seed dispersal
12
Tubes growing from pollens viewed under a microscope. https://www.saps.org.uk
13
Pollen tubes
Pollen grows a tube from the stigma down into the ovule. The male gamete goes down the tube and fuses with the female gamete inside an ovule.
14
Fertilization
The fusion of the nucleus of a male gamete and the nucleus of a female gamete.
15
Zygote
A new cell formed by fertilization.
16
Seed formation
When the zygote starts to divide, it produces a little group of cells called an embryo
The ovule begins to change and gradually becomes a seed

Pollination
Fertilization
Seed formation
Pollen-ovule fusion

Multiple Choice
In plants, where is the female gamete produced?
ovule
style
stigma
anther

23
Multiple Choice
Which statement is CORRECT?
A zygote develops into an embryo.
A zygote is larger than an embryo.
A seed is an enlarged zygote.
A seed is a plant embryo.

Summary
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma.
Fertilization is the fusion of the nucleus of a male gamete with the nucleus of a female gamete.
Inside the ovule, a zygote divides to form the plant embryo. Also, the ovule changes and develops into a seed.
