When does fertilisation occur in plants
Nucleus of pollen grain joins with nucleus of ovuke
Parts of plant
Petal
Anther ( top circle yellow pollen thing)
Filament ( below anther)
Ovule (green circle at the kinda start of the petals inside stem)
Sepal (leave on stem)
Nectary (leave coming our bottom of plant)
Ovary (above ovule)
Stigma ( top of stem inside petal)
