Q

What is pollination, and what happens after it?

A

The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma, after a tube grows down from the stigma through the style and into the ovary

19
Q

What is fertilization?

A

The male gamete travels down the pollen tube to the gamete in an ovule

20
Q

When does fertilization occur

A

When the male gamete and the female gamete fuse

21
Q

What happens after fertilization?

A

The ovule forms a seed and the seed and the ovary becomes a fruit

22
Q

What are some ways a fruit can be dispersed

A

Wind, animals eating and then pooping out the seeds, the fruit getting stuck in and animals coat

23
Q

Why does the fruit disperse?
