16. Unscramble the steps:
Under favorable conditions, the seed germinates (sprouts).
A pollen tube grows to the ovule
The ovary around the ovule becomes a fruit (protects & helps spread the seed)
Fertilization: sperm & egg fuse in the ovule
Pollination: pollen moves from anther (male) to stigma (female)
Ovule develops into a seed
