How To Perform

1

Observe Flower

Identify stamen (male) and pistil (female) parts of the flower.

2

Pollination

Pollen grains transfer from anther to stigma.

3

Pollen Tube Growth

Pollen tube grows through style toward the ovary.

4

Fertilization

Male gamete fuses with egg cell in the ovule → zygote!

Seed & Fruit

Ovule becomes seed; ovary becomes fruit.

⚠️ Safety Notes
