Concept explainers

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.

Arrange the following flower and fruit development processes in order. (1st step to 5th step)The microspore mother cell produces haploid microspores. => stepThe flower produces pollen grains that will land on the stigma. => StepThe tube cell forms the pollen tube, anchoring on the synergid. => StepFirst sperm will fertilize the egg to form the zygote (becoming the embryo later on). => StepThe ovary wall enlarges forming the pericarp. => Step
Please elaborate mechanisms of male and female gametophyte formation in crop plants.
The three illustrations represent the three types of relationships between the haploid gametophyte and diploid sporophyte generations found among plants. Identify the types of plants and the characteristics that belong with each of the three types of relationships. Bryophyte Ferns Seed plants ferns and horsetails mosses, liverworts, and other bryophytes Ginko biloba, spruce trees, and other gymnosperms The gametophyte requires nourishment from the sporophyte in order to survive. The sporophyte and gametophyte generations grow independently and produce differently shaped plants. The sporophyte cannot survive without nourishment from the gametophyte. Answer Bank Incorrect
