3.4

objective 3.4: understand that the growth of the pollen tube followed by fertilisation leads to seed and fruit formation



1. the male nucleus travels down the pollen tube to the ovulw
2. the male nucleus will fertilise the ovule
3. this leads to the formation of the zygote which in turn leads to the growth of the embrionic plant
4. outside of the ovule the seed coat forms
5. another name for seed coat is testa
6.inside, in addition to the zygote, the cotyledon forms
7. the cotyledon is a food store used for the plant before the leaves can provide energy
8. the walls of the ovary thicken by adding sugar and protein.
9. fruit is the wall of ovary/carpel
