Microgametogenesis _4. The generative cell subsequently detaches from the pollen grain wall and is engulfed by the vegetative cell forming a unique 'cell within a cell' structure. 5. Each microspore will form large vacuole displacing the microspore nucleus to an eccentric position against the microspore wall. _6. The nucleus undergoes first pollen mitosis which results in the formation of two unequal cells, a large vegetative cell and a small generative cell each containing a haploid nucleus. _7. The generative cell divides by mitosis to form two sperm cells completely enclosed within the vegetative cell cytoplasm. _8. No cytokinesis takes place forming a pollen grain having 3 haploid nucleus, 1 tube nucleus and 2 sperm cells for double fertilization. Microsporogenesis _9. A diploid sporogenous cells differentiate as microsporocytes (pollen mother cells or meiocytes) which divide by meiosis to form four haploid nuclei. _10. Distinct single-celled haploid microspores form after cytokinesis.

Angiosperm Reproduction

The process of sexual reproduction in flowering plants is known as angiosperm reproduction. In flowering plants, reproduction begins with pollination, or the transfer of male gametes (pollen) from the male reproductive organ (anther) to the female reproductive organ (pistil), and ends with fertilization of the female gametes (egg), which produces a zygote, which then grows to become a mature plant.
