Marking-scheme solution
A - Stigma ; B - Anther - pollen germinate to form pollen tube which carries male germ cells to the egg cell in the ovule of the ovary. - Fusion of germ cells/fertilization gives rise to zygote. - Zygote divides to form an embryo within the ovule. Ovule develops and converted into a seed. - Ovary grows rapidly to form a fruit. Petals, sepals, stamens, style, etc. shrivel and fall off.
Changes after fertilization: - Fertilisation results in the formation of a zygote. - Zygote starts dividing to form an embryo, which is implanted in the lining of the uterus. - Embryo continues to grow and derive nutrition through placenta. Role of placenta To provide oxygen and glucose to the embryo from mother's blood To remove waste substances generated by the developing embryo. If the egg is not fertilized: - the lining of the uterus slowly breaks and comes out through the vagina as blood and mucous./ menstruation will occur.
