  • Fertillisation
    • Fertilisation is the fusion of the male gamete with the female gamete
    • STEP 1
      • POLLEN is transferred from one flower to another
    • STEP 2
      • The pollen grain lands on the stigma and a POLLEN TUBE is grown down through the style towards the ovary
    • STEP 3
      • The NUCLEUS of the pollen grain then passes down the tube to fertilise the egg inside the OVULE
    • STEP 4
      • The fertilised egg cell develops into an EMBRYO, the ovule becomes the seed , and the ovary forms the fruit
