3.4 Plant Fertilisation

-Pollen grains germinate and tubes start to grow
- Pollen tubes will only complete if its the same specie
- The pollen tubes go to the ovule
       -The pollen nucleus fertilizes the ovule which will lead to the formation on a zygote
       - This will grow into the embryonic plant
- Outside ovule forms a seed coat called testa
- Formation of the cotyledons (food stores for seedling, supports plant)
-Thickening of the walls of the ovary which makes fruit
