How do you think pollen grains reach the pistil?

Pollen grains reach the pistil through pollination. The pollen grains are placed on the stigma of the carpal, and it transfers by wind, insects, built in mechanical discharge, and men. When the pollen lands on the stigma, it starts a series of chemical reactions that allow the pollen grain to produce a structure called the pollen tube. At the same time, the generative nucleus divides and produces two sperm nuclei. The pollen grain with the pollen tube and three nuclei is a mature gametophyte. The pollen tube works its way through the style of the carpal and touches the micropyte of the ovule. The sperm nuclei enter the embryo sac and fertilizes the egg and two polar nuclei, referred to as double fertilization. The fertilized egg develops into the immature seed plant, and the central cell develops into the endosperm, or food storage ares, of the seed.

A sticky secretion on the scales of seed cones traps pollen grains. Structure is produced by a pollen grain that lands near an ovule is pollen tubes.


Why does pollen have spikes?

The reason why some pollen grains have spikes is because of the plant species. It also may be because of where the plant was adapted. Pollen grains have spikes also simply due to the location where the species is found. It is located in the coastal species where pollen grains have a different pollen shape to help with things such as salt resistant while a species found inland will be more heat resistant. It really just depends on the type of environment in which the plant has adapted. By Lyn Le


How could a heavy rainfall on a fruit orchard in the spring result in a poor fruit yield in the fall?

I think that heavy rain on a fruit orchard in the spring would cause a poor fruit yield because all the pollen would be washed away, and therefore, the eggs would not be fertilized. The ovary, in which the ovules are contained, become the fruit once all the ovules are fertilized. The pollen is produced in the anther, and then they are transported to the pistil by different insects. The pistil contains the stigma, which is a sticky receptive surface where the pollen fall. The stigma also contains the style, which is the pollen tube through which the pollen reach the eggs. Now, if there is heavy rainfall, the pollen may not stick to the stigma, and then be washed away, or the insects may not come and transport the pollen to the stigma, which means that the ovary would never become a fruit.
