Explanation

After the pollen tube grows down through the style, the male gamete moves through it to reach the ovule. The process that happens next is the fusion of the male gamete with the egg cell, which is known as fertilisation.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: The pollen tube grows through the style to reach the ovary.

  2. Step 2: The male gamete travels through the pollen tube to the ovule.

  3. Step 3: The male gamete fuses with the egg cell, which is the process of fertilisation.
