10. Use the diagram below to sequence the steps of double fertilization in angiosperms. (KPI 4.1.5, AO1)

- Pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma, either by wind, animals, or other means.
- Upon landing on the stigma, a pollen grain absorbs water and germinates, forming a pollen tube.
- The pollen tube grows down through the style, guided by various chemical signals.
- The pollen tube reaches the ovule inside the ovary.
- Two fertilization events occur:
a. One sperm cell fertilizes the egg, forming a diploid zygote (zygote fertilization).
b. Another sperm cell fuses with two polar nuclei, forming a triploid cell that develops into the
endosperm (endosperm fertilization).
- The fertilized egg develops into the embryo, and the surrounding ovule tissues form the seed. The
ovary develops into a fruit.
