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.

Suppose that 100 pollen grains land on a stigma, and 50 mature seeds are formed in the fruit. What does this indicate about the pollination process and success? A) 100% success: 100 pollen grains grew to 50 ovules, two to each, and double fertilization occurred. B) 100% success: Only 50% of the pollen grains germinated, but each produced 2 sperms to complete double fertilization in 50 seeds. C) 50% success: 50 sperm fertilized 50 eggs, and 50 sperm fused with 50 polar nuclei.

1) Read the following paragraph carefully. There are several mistakes within the paragraph. The ancestors of seed plants are thought to have been heterosporous. In modern day gymnosperms, megasporangia produce the gametes that give rise to the male gametophyte. Gymnosperm and angiosperm megasporangia have one integument layer. The megasporangia is haploid and makes the megaspore. a) How many mistakes are in the above paragraph? b) Rewrite the paragraph to be correct. Underline any changes you make to correct the statements.
