If a grain of pollen lands on the stigma of a plant, a
pollen tube will grow (out of the pollen grain), down through the style to the
ovary and into the ovule. A nucleus from the male gamete will then move down
the pollen tube and will fuse with the nucleus of the female gamete in the
ovule, this is fertilization. A fertilized female gamete forms a seed and the
ovary develops into a fruit around the seed (kind of like a protective layer).
