Expert Solution
Introduction

Since you have posted multiple questions, we are instructed to answer the first one. If you want a specific question to be answered, post that question alone or specify the question number.

Fertilization refers to the process in which the fusion of sperm cells and eggs within the ovule takes place to form a diploid zygote. In plants, each ovule develops into a seed after fertilization. 

Both angiosperms and gymnosperms are seed-bearing vascular plants. Angiosperms are flowering plants that can have fruits, whereas gymnosperms lack flowers and fruits.
