Question

Fertilization of the egg takes place inside the ______.

Options

• stigma

• pollen tube

• embryo sac

Answer 1

Fertilization of the egg takes place inside the embryo sac.

Explanation:

Fertilization of the egg takes place inside the embryo sac, where the male gamete from the pollen tube fuses with the egg cell to form a zygote. This process is called syngamy and occurs after the pollen tube enters the embryo sac through the micropyle. Thus, fertilization specifically happens inside the embryo sac of the ovule.
