9. from the anther to the stigma Pollination: the transfer of pollen
stigma of the same flower or plant
one flower is transferred to the
1. self-pollination – the pollen of
(offspring will be genetically identical)

10. stigma of another plant one flower is transferred to the
2. cross pollination – the pollen of
(offspring will be genetically different)

11. Double Fertilization:
the ovary
stigma, it grows down the style to
1. when the pollen lands on the
2. each pollen grain has two sperm
form the zygote (aka: the seed)
a. one sperm fuses with the egg to

12. Double Fertilization:
(a source of nutrition for the zygote)
rest of the ovary to form the fruit
b. the other sperm fuses with the

13. Dispersal of Seeds: 1. wind 2. water 3. animals a. stick to their fur
not digested
b. fruit is eaten but the seeds are
