explain how fertilization occurs, include the terms male and female cones, pollen, egg in your description
male cones produce pollen grains and female cone produce eggs the pollen is released from the male cone and lands on the female cone and gets trapped by sticky sap, and pollen tube forms and travels to ovule and fertilizes the egg
500
What is meant by double fertilization?
two sperm fertilize the ovule, one fertilizes the egg to become the zygote, the other fertilizes another nucleus becoming the endosperm (nutrients for seed)
