Plants do not have sperm. The male gamete is found in the pollen grain. The egg is usually called an ovule. When the pollen from the same plant is used, we speak of self pollination, and when the gametes fuse it is self fertilization.
Same
Gametes are said to have homologous chromosomes, if they have same genes arranged in same order. During gamete formation meiosis precedes, therefore, individual gamete does not have its homologous counterpart. After fertilization, in diploid nucleus, homologous chromosomes are restored.
Fertilization is occurred when ripe pollen from an anther of the same kind of flower catches on the stigma, each pollen grain sends out a tiny threadlike tube. The tube grows down through the style and pierces one of the ovules in the ovary. This process is called fertilization.
This is called mitosis. Be careful to note that the parent cell does not always have 2n chromosomes and it may produce sexual cells (gametes)- because that is exactly what almost all plants do in the alternation of generations. A gametophyte is haploid and in order to create haploid gametes it uses mitosis.

The fusion of two haploid gametes to form a new diploid cell is called fertilization. Self-fertilization in plants, the fusion of two gametes from the same individual to form a diploid offspring.

false
They have the same number of chromosomes
Meiosis works to produce gametes, not mitosis.
Gametes are said to have homologous chromosomes, if they have same genes arranged in same order. During gamete formation meiosis precedes, therefore, individual gamete does not have its homologous counterpart. After fertilization, in diploid nucleus, homologous chromosomes are restored.
Isogamy: It is the fusion of similar size gametes. ie if male gamete and female gamete which are in same size fuse, then the type of fertilization is called isogamy. And also the male and female gametes look alike .Oogamy: It is the fusion of unequal size gametes. ie., the male gamete is smaller than female gamete. The human sperm is smaller then female egg and the fusion of these two is called Oogamy.
This is called internal fertilization. It happens in birds and mammals, whereas amphibians emit eggs and sperm to meet in the outside world.
Fertilization in flowering plants is achieved through pollen tube in which the non -motile male gametes travel to reach the egg and the secondary nucleus. Thus, in flowering plants there is double fertilization i. e. one male gamete unites with the egg to form the zygote which develops in to an embryo and the other male gamete present inthe same pollen tube unites with two polar nuclei (or their fusion product, known as secondary nucleus) to form the endosperm, which nourishes the developing embryo. In other organisms the male gametes are generally motile and double fertilization does not take place.
