Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -After reaching an ovule and breaking out of the pollen tube tip, one generative nucleus unites with the egg cell to form a diploid zygote (i.e., a fertilized egg with two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent).
Detailed explanation-2: -After fertilization, the fertilized ovule forms the seed while the tissues of the ovary become the fruit.
Detailed explanation-3: -The seed, unlike a spore, is a diploid embryo surrounded by storage tissue and protective layers. It is equipped to delay germination until growth conditions are optimal. Angiosperms bear both flowers and fruit. The structures protect the gametes and the embryo during its development.
