Q: If pollination occurs, what does the zygote develop into?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Pollination occurs when pollen is transferred from a male to female cone. If sperm then travel from the pollen to an egg so fertilization can occur, a diploid zygote results. The zygote develops into an embryo within a seed, which forms from the ovule inside the female cone. If the seed germinates, it may grow into a mature sporophyte tree, which repeats the cycle.

 Choices:

- an ovum

- a sperm

- an egg

- an embryo


A:
an embryo
