Answer:

When the pollen tube grows into the ovule

Step-by-step explanation:

Simmilar to animals, fertilization occurs when the egg (ovule) and the sperm join together to produce a new individual. In flowers, when the pollen tube grows into the ovlue is when pollen and ovule join together and fertilization occurs. A new seed is the produced, ready to produce a new individual.
