how pollen tube grows down through the style
A pollen tube grows from the pollen grain down through the style. The pollen tube enters the ovary and reaches an olvule. The sperm then travels down the pollen tube and fertilizes the egg in the ovule. So a pollen tube.
An egg in a plant does not pass through a pollen tube. In plant reproduction, the egg cell is located in the ovule within the ovary of the flower. The pollen tube allows the sperm cells to travel from the pollen to the egg for fertilization to occur.

Pollen
The structure that grows out of the pollen grain and into the stigma is called the pollen tube. Once the pollen grain lands on a compatible stigma, it germinates and forms this tube, which extends down through the style to reach the ovule in the ovary. The pollen tube carries the male gamete (pollen nucleus) to the egg cell for fertilization. This process is essential for sexual reproduction in flowering plants.
The pollen tube nucleus directs the growth of the pollen tube down through the pistil to the ovary
Pollen grows a tube that travels down to the flowers ovary. From there, the nucleus of the pollen grains passes through the pollen tube to join the nucleus of the ovule to fertilize.
A pollen tube is a structure that develops from a pollen grain after it lands on the stigma of a flower. It grows down through the style of the flower to reach the ovary where it delivers the male gametes for fertilization to occur. This process is essential for plant reproduction.
You are likely to see the tube cell, vegetative nucleus, generative cell, and the tube nucleus in a pollen tube. This structure can be observed during the process of pollination when the male gametophyte is being transported from the pollen grain to the ovule.
The pollen tube elongates down the style through a process called tip growth, where the cell tip extends and pushes through the tissue. This growth is facilitated by the interaction of enzymes and proteins at the cell wall to create a pathway for the pollen tube to follow. The pollen tube is guided by chemical signals and physical cues in the style to reach the ovary for fertilization.
