Summary Introduction

To describe: The model of seed germination by a flow diagram.

Introduction: The fusion of male and female gametes results in the process of fertilization. The process of embryogenesis takes place after the fertilization of gametes. After a certain period of time, the embryo gets covered by a seed coat and the formation of seed takes place. The ovules, after fertilization, result in the formation of seeds.
