Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of fertilization in plants: Fertilization occurs when a sperm cell from pollen fuses with an ovule in the ovary of a flower.
Recognize the result of fertilization: The fusion of the sperm and ovule forms a zygote, which is the first cell of a new plant.
Identify the structure that develops from the zygote: The zygote undergoes multiple cell divisions and differentiates into an embryo.
Understand the role of the ovule: After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed, which contains the embryo and a food supply, all encased in a protective seed coat.
Conclude that the structure resulting from fertilization is a seed, which will eventually germinate and grow into a new plant under suitable conditions.
