The correct answer is: anther - stigma - style - ovary.
The correct list that gives the complete path for pollen as it fertilizes a plant is:
anther - stigma - style - ovary.
To arrive at this answer, you need to understand the parts of a flower and the process of pollen fertilization in plants. Here is a breakdown of the process:
1. Anther: This is the male reproductive organ of a flower. It produces pollen grains.
2. Stigma: This is the female reproductive organ of a flower. It is located at the tip of the pistil and is sticky to catch and hold pollen grains.
3. Style: This is a slender tube-like structure that connects the stigma to the ovary.
4. Ovary: This is the female reproductive organ that contains ovules. After pollination, the ovules develop into seeds.
So, the path of pollen from the male reproductive organ to the female reproductive organ in a plant is as follows:
anther (pollen production) - stigma (pollen attachment) - style (pollen tube growth) - ovary (fertilization and seed development).
Therefore, the correct answer is "anther - stigma - style - ovary."
