Explanation:

• Petals: They are often colorful and fragrant, which helps in attracting pollinators like bees, butterflies etc.
• Stigma: It is the part of the female reproductive structure (pistil) where pollen lands during pollination.
• Ovule: After pollination, the pollen grain germinates, the pollen tube grows and reaches the ovule. The male gamete fuses with the female gamete (in the ovule) during fertilization.

Answer:

The \(\text{petals}\) attract pollinators. Pollen is deposited on the \(\text{stigma}\). The pollen grain grows and fuses with the \(\text{ovule}\).
