Tracing a Flower From Pollination to Seed Dispersal, Worked Capstone
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
This capstone traces one angiosperm flower's reproductive arc from pollen landing on the stigma through double fertilization to a dispersed, dormant seed.
Watch for
Skipping from pollination directly to a finished seed glosses over the actual sequence — fertilization, seed-coat development, and dormancy are separate stages, each with its own point of possible failure, not one automatic outcome once a pollen grain lands.
