-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 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.
Is the flower involved in plant reproduction?
Yes! In flowering plants the flower is the most important part of a plant for reproduction. Pollen and Ovules are produced in the flower. The purpose of the flower is to attract insects, birds or bats in order to cause pollen to be spread. The flower is the point of fertilisation, when pollen and ovules fuse, which ultimately forms the new individual.
Where does pollen grains form?
Pollen grains develop in the anthers of the staminae. In the anthers mostly four, but sometimes only two loculi are present.
What does the petal do for flower?
A flower petal attracts insects and other life forms that may spread it's pollen to other plants. This allows for reproduction.
What will you say that anther forms pollen or pollen grains?
anther is a bi lobed structure inside this pollen grains are formed by pollen mother cells
Describe what happens from the time pollen lands on the female part of a flower until a seed forms?
germination when plant's seeds fall from the female plant then the environment takes care of it.
What are the parts of the flower invoved in pollination?
The male sex organ parts create the pollen. The carpal is the female part of the flower. Inside the carpel is the ovary where the seed forms.

What grows down the pistil of a flower?
The pistil is the female part of the flower. When pollen is transfered from the stamen of the same flower or another flower of the same or similar type by wind, insects, or q-tips, a seed forms inside the pistil. Plant breeders actually remove the stamen from selected flowers and place pollen from other flowers ion or in the pistil with q-tips so the plant that grows from the seed will have the desired characteristics.
A pollen grain forms a tube leading to the flower's what?
Pollen grows a tube that travels down to the flowers ovary. From there, the nucleus of the pollen grains passes through the pollen tube to join the nucleus of the ovule to fertilize.
What happens to the ovules of the flower after fertilization?
After Fertilisation:- 1. The Flower looses its bright color. 2. The petals, sepals and stamen withers away. 3. The ovary starts to grow bigger in size. 4. The ovary becomes fruit. 5. The ovules become the seeds of the fruit.
What is responsible for reproduction?
reproduction are of 2 types sexual reproduction which involves gametes male gametes:-- sperms female gametes:-- ovum these 2 gametes need to be fused together to form an embryo then through mitosis it will divide millions of time to make a baby in plants male gametes:-- pollen grain female gametes:-- ovary in these when pollen gets in another flower due to pollination it forms an pollen tube through the style and fuses with the ovary and forms seeds!! in short the gametes are responsible for reproduction in sexual reproduction
Does the tree produce dates?
Dates are produced on Date Palm Trees. They have Male and Female forms. The Male trees produce Pollen. They pollen fertilizes the female trees which produce the dates. Commercial groves grow only a few male trees. They take the pollen from them and fertilize the female flowers by hand. Most palms use the wind to spread their pollen but spreading pollen by hand makes fewer male trees necessary. That way more female trees can be grown and more dates produced.
What do feeding butterflies and bees carrying pollen from flower to flower cause?
The fertilization of the flower part, the growthof the plant's seed, and the possibility of greater diversity and spread over a wider area are what feeding bees and butterflies cause in carrying pollen from flower to flower. Specifically, pollinating agents such as bees and butterflies make sure to it that the host plant grows over a wider area than the immediate ground in which it grows. Additionally, the mixing of different pollen particles encourages the appearance of new, improved forms of the plant.
What does a petals on a plant do?
A flower petal attracts insects and other life forms that may spread it's pollen to other plants. This allows for reproduction.
What forms the female part of the flower?
The pistil (not 'pistol'; if a plant had that we would be living in a dangerous world).
