Fertilization in flowing plants leads to the production of seeds which are capable of germinating into new plant. In this case the pollen grains (male reproductive gamete) is transferred onto the stigma where it is passed into the ovary for pollination to take place and then to the ovule leading to the formation of seed.

How to Pass NECO Biology Exams
1. Go for Biology recommended textbooks:
There were textbooks recommended by WAEC and NECO examination board which contains all the relevant topics. You need to get at least one of those Textbooks to enable you find those topics.
2. Get NECO Biology syllabus:
A syllable contains all the relevant topics which you need to read for each subject and the recommended textbooks and authors.
WAEC and JAMB have their syllabus while NECO does not have such. However, NECO uses the WAEC syllabus as a standard for setting exam questions.
One thing you should note is that your questions can never come outside these recommended NECO topics. So, you need them. You can also search this blog for any Syllable you want.
Apart from these two tips, there are other tricks which you can adopt in and outside your examination hall in order to pass your exams. Check out my article on how to pass any kind of exam.
