 * [[file:food chains and webs.doc]] ||  || Seeds:
 * Pollination is the first step in reproduction. Pollen grains are shed from the anthers and fall onto the feathery stigmas.
 * Fertilization is the second step in seed formation. The pollen that reaches the stigma germinates and forms a pollen tube that carries the male nuclei inside the ovary for fusion with the egg nuclei.
 * The complete process from pollination to fertilization takes from 18 to 24 hours. ||
