pollen grains of the same flower.
Fertilization
The pollen grains land on the stigma. If the
pollen grains are compatible (i.e. from the
same species), the pollen grain germinates
and produces a pollen tube after
absorbing a sticky fluid
The pollen tube grows down through the
style to reach the ovule in the ovary.
The male nucleus fuses with the female
nucleus to give a zygote which will develop
into an embryo plant.

Light is not needed for seed germination as most seeds germinate under the
