Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
Anthers release pollen, which lands on the stigma of another flower of the same species. The pollen grain produces a pollen tube that grows down the style, to the ovary, and into the ovule. The sperm cell fertilizes the egg cell. The ovule develops into the seed, and the ovary becomes the fruit.
<em>During fertilization in plants, the anther which carries pollen releases pollen grains. Once the pollen lands on the stigma of a flower of the same species, it germinates. The pollen grain produces a pollen tube that grows through the style of the stigma down to the ovary and into the ovule. One of the sperm cells fuses with the egg cell of the ovule to form the zygote while the other sperm cell fuses with the polar nuclei to form the endosperm in a process known as double fertilization. After fertilization, the fertilized ovule becomes the seed and the ovary becomes the fruit. </em>

Answer:
My philosophy in life is to learn something everyday, to take care of my physical and mental health, and to enjoy life serving God.
Solar System[a] is the gravitationallybound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly,[b] including the eight planets and five dwarf planets as defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest eight are the planets,[c]with the remainder being smaller objects, such as dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. Of the objects that orbit the Sun indirectly—the moons—two are larger than the smallest planet, Mercury.[d]

The Solar System formed 4.6 billion years agofrom the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system's mass is in the Sun, with the majority of the remaining mass contained in Jupiter. The four smaller inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are terrestrial planets, being primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets are giant planets, being substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiterand Saturn, are gas giants, being composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are ice giants, being composed mostly of substances with relatively high melting points compared with hydrogen and helium, called volatiles, such as water, ammonia and methane. All eight planets have almost circular orbits that lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic.
