What is anther pollen?
Anther pollen refers to the pollen grains produced by the anther, which is the male reproductive organ of a flower. These pollen grains contain the male gametes needed for fertilization when they land on the stigma of a flower.
How does pollen that fertilizes the egg reach the ovule?
Some of the pollen grains carried by wind,insects,birds or bats may reach a carpel and stick to the ripe stigma.Each pollen grain produces a tiny tube which grows down to the style,into the ovary and towards the ovules or egg cells.when one of the tubes reaches an ovule,it bursts open.A male nucleus from the pollen grain then moves down the pollen tube to join with the nucleus of the female sex cell,the ovule.when the nuclei of the pollen grains and ovules have joined together, the ovules are said to be fertilized.
What is the fate of the tube nucleus in the pollen tube?
The tube nucleus in the pollen tube typically disintegrates as it moves downwards in the pollen tube to ensure that the sperm cells reach the ovule without interference. This allows for successful fertilization to occur by facilitating the fusion of the sperm cells with the egg cell and central cell in the ovule.
What features of a pollen grain makes it suited for being brushed off an insect?
A pollen grain's surface is often rough and sticky, allowing it to adhere to an insect's body as it moves from flower to flower. Additionally, the shape and size of pollen grains match well with insect hairs, making them easy to brush off as the insect travels. Lastly, the lightweight nature of pollen grains makes them easily dispersed by the movement of insects.
How does bee help flower reproduction?
Bees help flower reproduction by transferring pollen from one flower to another as they forage for nectar. This transfer of pollen between flowers allows for fertilization to occur, which is necessary for the development of seeds and fruits in the plant. This process, known as pollination, is essential for the reproduction and genetic diversity of many plant species.
What is it called when pollen moves from the anther to the stigma?
The transfer of pollen grains from the stamen to the pistil is called pollination.
Where does pollen go on a flower?
Pollen is in the stamen, which is the male part of the flower. After pollenation, it goes to the pistil, the female part. During fertilization, it moves downward, to the ovule, still inside the pistil. There are several stamen on one flower, the exact number depends on the type of flower. They surround the pistil, which is shorter. Sorry if I answered a simple question with an essay. I tend to do that.
What are the steps of pollination to the point that the seed is formed?
-pollen sticks to the stigma at the end of the pistil -pollen tubes grow down the pistil to the egg cells -sperm cells from the pollen moves down the tubes -fertilization combines DNA
What happens from the time pollen lands on the female part of the flower until the seed forms?
-pollen sticks to the stigma at the end of the pistil -pollen tubes grow down the pistil to the egg cells -sperm cells from the pollen moves down the tubes -fertilization combines DNA
What moves down the pollen tube into the ovary?
Pollen
Why can't flowers pollinate themselves?
1. Many flowers have both male and female parts. So some flowers can indeed pollinate themselves, and the pollen moves from the stamens to the pistil on the same plant. This is called self pollination. Most flowers, however, are cross pollinating. This means the pollen must be carried from the stamens of one plants to the pistil of another plant of the same kind.
What process moves pollen from flower to flower?
Pollination
How do bees move pollen?
When an insect like bee's lands on a flower, pollen sticks to it's legs. So when an insect moves to another flower pollen gets on that flower and so on and so on as the insect moves from one plant to another.
How does pollen get from plant to another?
Wind moves pollen for some plants like grass and corn. Animal pollinators move pollen for many flowering plants.
On a flower what moves down to the ovary?
The male gametes in the pollen tubes.
What happens once the pollen lands on the stigma?
Pollination
What is anther pollen?
Anther pollen refers to the pollen grains produced by the anther, which is the male reproductive organ of a flower. These pollen grains contain the male gametes needed for fertilization when they land on the stigma of a flower.
