In which part of flower does fertilization occur?

Flower petals add color to the garden, and they attract bees and other pollinators that help the plant produce seeds. Female flower parts include the sticky stigma, which is at the end of the style that leads to the ovary. Male parts include the filaments, which hold up the pollen-producing anthers. read more

The Fertilization Process. Fertilization takes part in the ovary of a female flower. Wind or pollinators carry the pollen from the male anthers to the female flower parts. After the pollen lands on the stigma, a pollen tube forms, and male reproductive material travels down the style and into the ovary, where it fertilizes an ovule. read more

It differs from pollination, where the pollen is transferred from a male part (anther) to a female part (stigma). Fertilization takes place in a flower when ripe pollen (from the same type of flower, typically carried by wind or insects) from the anther is transferred to the stigma, threadlike tubes that are generated from the pollen grain. read more
