In flowering plants, the pollen grains are transferred to stigma by pollination but the female germ cells are present in the ovary. Explain with the help of a labelled diagram (only concerned parts), how the male germ cell reaches the ovary.
Solution
After the pollen lands on a suitable stigma, it has to reach the female germ cells which is located in the ovary. For this a tube grows out of the pollen grain and travels through the style to reach the ovary.
Germination of pollen on stigma
Labelling: pollen tube/ ovary/ male germ cell
