3.4 Plant Fertilization
- The pollen tubes will only complete if they are from the same species.
- The nucleus travels down the pollen tube and into the ovule.
- Pollen nucleus will fertilize the ovule and will leave to a formation of a zygote and will grow into the embryonic plant.
- The outside of the ovule forms the seed coat also know as the TESTA.
- Cotyledons are the food stores for the seedling and will support the plant until it develops its first set of leaves.

3.3 a Insect pollination
- A pollination flower transfers pollen grain from the anther to a stigma of a plant.
- A pollen is a small structure that contains male nuclei.
- Transfer in an insects pollinated plant is taken place by insects.
- Its necessary for this plant to attract insects.
- If pollen goes from one plant to another this is called cross pollination.
3.3 b Wind pollination
- Transfer of the pollen grains are from the anther.
- The pollen grain from the anther to the stigma is through air carried by the wind.
- Pollen grain has lightweight pollen grains, which some wing feature.
- It would probably let it move for efficiently through the air.
- There is no color in the petals and no smell to attract insects.
