Question

Fertilization occurs when what material from one flower reaches the female gametes in the same or a different flower?

Answer 1

pollen

Pea plants reproduce sexually. The male gametes are released by tiny grains of pollen. The female gametes lie deep within the flowers. Fertilization occurs when pollen from one flower reaches the female gametes in the same or a different flower. This is called pollination . Mendel was able to control which plants pollinated each other. He transferred pollen by hand from flower to flower.
