Question 9

Fertilization takes place inside the

  1. ovary
  2. ovule
  3. ovum
  4. gynoecium
Answer

ovule

Reason — When a pollen grain reaches the stigma, it begins to grow a pollen tube that travels down through the style to reach the ovules inside the ovary. A male gamete or male sex cell travels down each pollen tube and fuses with the egg cell (or a female gamete) inside an ovule.
