What to Focus On

  • Fertilization happens after pollination.
  • Pollen tube carries male gametes to the ovule.
  • Male and female gametes fuse to form a zygote.
  • Fruit is the ripened ovary of a flower.
  • Seeds develop from fertilized ovules.
  • Fruits protect the seeds.
  • Seed coat protects the seed.
  • Cotyledons store food for the baby plant.
  • Embryo grows into a new plant.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Pollination and fertilization are the same thing.

All fruits we eat are just fruits, not ripened ovaries.

Seeds grow into plants without needing water or soil.
