Pollination and Fertilisation
The Seed Site
Seeds are the result of fertilisation of the ovules by pollen. The ovules are 'half a seed' - they contain the DNA of the female parent plant (sometimes called 'the seed parent'), but cannot develop into complete seeds until they have had the DNA of the male parent plant (sometimes called 'the pollen parent') added.
