As this bee dines on nectar, it also transfers pollen from one flower to another. Pollen containing sperm is transferred to the female flower parts and fertilization of an egg soon follows. Which statement BEST summarizes the change in chromosome number before and after fertilization?

The number I suppose would increase. AS the egg fertilize it gains more chromosomes for the female and the male. Then again I never though plants mate? Also through the travel the bee has to other plants he may lose some sperm from the male plant. So that would be decrease
