Describe the development of a flowering plant.

The development of a flowering plant begins with pollination and fertilization, which occurs in the genital organ – the flower. When pollinated, pollen from the stamens enters the stigma of the pistil, gametes merge, resulting in a zygote and a triploid cell, which develops into nutrient tissue for the embryo. As a result of double fertilization, a fetus is formed with seeds that must ripen. After ripening, they fall into the ground, where, under favorable conditions, they begin to germinate: the seed peel bursts, a root appears, which takes root in the soil, and cotyledon leaves. Soon, real leaves appear, the plant enters the ripening phase, blooms and gives new seeds.
