well.............Simply put: Haploid gametes are produced through meiosis; male cells are produced which are encapsulated in a pollen grain, female cells form ovules held within an ovary. Through the process of pollination, male pollen grains are transferred to the stigma of a receptive flower. The pollen grain germinates and a pollen tube grows down the style and into the ovary, where it releases the male gamete - this then fuses with the ovule forming a diploid zygote (which after further mitosis develops into an embryo). The embryo is encapsulated within a testa and forms a seed as the ovary ripens (to form the fruit). Seed are released and germinate. The process differs slightly between angiosperms and gymnosperms although the basics remain the same.
