What is fertilization in flowering plants?

Fertilization is the fusion of male and female gamete to produce a young one. Pollen(male part of a flower) from the anthers of one flower is transferred to the stigma (female part) of another usually either by wind, or by animals, especially insects. Once a pollen grain reaches the stigma of another flower of the same species, it will produce a pollen tube. This grows down through the style until it reaches an ovule. Fertilization then takes place, resulting in a seed.
