Plants and animals/insects work hand in hand with pollination and fertilization. In three to five sentences describe how a plant is fertilized. Be sure to use the words: anther, pollen, and pistil in your response. (4 points)

Answer 1

Fertilization in plants occurs through the process of pollination. The anther, which is part of the male reproductive structure of the plant, produces pollen grains that contain male gametes. These pollen grains are then transferred to the pistil, which is the female reproductive structure. Within the pistil, there is a stigma that receives the pollen grains, allowing them to travel down the style towards the ovary where fertilization takes place, resulting in the production of seeds.
