What is a ovule part of the female flower?
The ovule is the part of the flower where the embryo sac is housed, and the embryo sac contains the female gamete (egg), which, when fertilized by the sperm in a pollen grain, will produce a zygote. What was once a flower will become a fruit. The zygote develops in the ovule, and forms the seed, which will eventually be dispersed from the fruit to start a new generation. So, the ovule is analogous to the pollen: one contains the female gamete, and the other contains the male gamete.
What is the process that happens when pollen meets an egg?
The pollen which is made by the anther which belongs ti the stamen meet with an ovule (the female egg cell) as it goes down the style it shall go in the ovary in the carpel (the female part of the flower) and soon meet the ovule and start making seeds.
What does a pollen grain and ovule each contain?
Pollen grains contain the male gametes required for sexual reproduction of a plant/ flower. These are haploid, and only contain half the full set of chromosomes; the other half is contributed by the female gamete (or ovule).A grain of pollen contains:a larger vegetative cell (also called the tube cell) inside of which is aa smaller germ cell (also called the generative cell).The pollen grain "germinates" on the stigma of the receptive flower and grows down the style, once it reaches the ovule the germ cell/ nucleus fuses with the nucleus of the ovule and an embryo is formed
What is the female reproductive cell in a flower?
The female reproductive cell in a flower is called an ovum.
The purpose of a pollen grain on a flower?
The purpose of pollen is to transfer the male reproductive cells (sperm) to the female reproductive cells (ovules) and thus to allow sexual reproduction. Pollen can be so transferred by many methods - wind, gravity, insects, etc. The pollen receptive part of the flower (the stigma) is often sticky, or textured so the pollen will stick. Once attached the pollen grain grows a tube into the stigma and down the style into the ovule. This tube allows the male gametes to fertilise the ovule, creating a seed.
What is flower fertililzation?
Flower fertilization is when the pollen gets into the female parts of the flower and the seeds start to form. Each ovule or egg needs some pollen to form a seed.

What part of the flower produces the female gamete?
gynoecium is the female part of the flower
What is the Female reproductive structure attached to the top of the flower stem?
The entire device is called the pistil and consists of the stigma which receives the pollen, and the style which transfers the pollen to the ovary and then to the ovule.
What does the pollen do in a plant?
Pollen grows down the style of a flower and produces 2 sperm which then fertilize an ovule and another cell (which provides energy for the ovule).
Does the pollen come from a male or female part of the flower?
The 'pistil' is a female part of a flower. However flowers usually have both male and female parts, it is unusual for a plant to be just male or female (although there are examples such as 'holly' and 'cannabis').
What is transferring pollen grains from another to the stigma of a flower?
when pollen grain are transferred from the stigma the ovule of the flower , whats takes place
What the female reproductive part of a flower is?
The pistil is the female reproductive part of a flower, composed of several or one organ. Flowers have both female and male reproductive parts.
What does a pollen grain and ovule each contain?

These are haploid, and only contain half the full set of chromosomes; the other half is contributed by the female gamete (or ovule).A grain of pollen contains:a larger vegetative cell (also called the tube cell) inside of which is aa smaller germ cell (also called the generative cell).The pollen grain "germinates" on the stigma of the receptive flower and grows down the style, once it reaches the ovule the germ cell/ nucleus fuses with the nucleus of the ovule and an embryo is formed
What part of the flower holds the flower?
The stem holds the petals on most flowers.
Does the filament produce pollen?
No, the stamens do. The stamens are the male parts and pistils are the female parts.
