In what ways is fertilisation in a plant: (a) similar to fertilisation in a human? (b) different from fertilisation in a human?
(a) In both human and plants, fertilisation include the fusion of male gametes and female gametes in the haploid (n) state to form a diploid (2n) zygote .
(b) In human, fertilisation involves the fusion of male gamete, sperm, with the female gamete, egg , to form a diploid zygote.
While in plants, fertilisation involves the fusion of male gamete, pollen , with the female gamete, egg, to form a diploid zygote.
