Figure 26.8 At what stage does the diploid zygote form? a. when the female cone begins to bud from the tree b. at fertilization c. when the seeds drop from the tree d. when the pollen tube begins to grow Figure 26.8 Conifer life cycle. This image shows the life cycle of a conifer. Pollen from male cones blows up into upper branches, where it fertilizes female cones. The megaspore shown in the image develops into the female gametophyte as the pollen tube slowly grows toward it, eventually fusing with the egg and delivering a male nucleus, which combines with the female nucleus of the mature egg
