This process involves:
* Pollination: Pollen (containing male gametes) is transferred from the anther of a flower to the stigma of the same or another flower.
* Fertilization: The pollen grain travels down a pollen tube to reach the ovule (containing female gametes) and fertilize the egg cell.
* Seed Development: The fertilized egg cell develops into an embryo within the seed, which also contains a food source for the developing embryo.
* Dispersal: The seeds are dispersed away from the parent plant (by wind, water, animals, etc.) to allow for colonization of new areas.
This method of reproduction is called sexual reproduction.
