What is fertilisation?

• The pollen grain land on the stigma, a tube grows down the style and the pollen grain fuse with the egg.

• The ovules land on the anther, a tube grows down the filament and the ovules fuse with the pollen grain

• The pollen grain land on the ovary, a tube grows into the ovules and the pollen grain fuse with the ovules.
