Detailed explanation-1: -Step one: After pollen has landed on the stigma, it grows a pollen tube down through the style to the ovary. Step two: The nucleus of the pollen grain travels down the pollen tube and fertilises the nucleus in the ovule. Step three: The fertilised ovule develops into a seed.
Detailed explanation-2: -From the anther the pollen grains are first deposited on the pistil’s surface, the stigma. There they germinate and form pollen tubes, which grow downward through the style toward the ovules. Fertilization occurs as a sperm cell in a pollen tube fuses with the egg cell of an ovule, resulting in a plant embryo.
Detailed explanation-3: -A pollen grain lands on the sticky stigma. A pollen tube grows from the pollen grain, and down the style, carrying a male gamete with it down the tube to meet the female gamete in an ovule. The male and female gamete fuse and fertilization occurs.
Detailed explanation-4: -After pollen lands on the stigma, it initiates pollen tube formation. Pollen tubes are channels which grow down the length of the style to the ovules. After a pollen grain travels down a pollen tube it intercepts an ovule, fertilizes the female germ cells and initiates seed development.
Detailed explanation-5: -A pollen grain on the stigma grows a tiny tube, all the way down the style to the ovary. This pollen tube carries a male gamete to meet a female gamete in an ovule.
