What happens to a flower after it is pollinated?

Answer 1

After a plant is pollinated, the pollen grains land on a receptive stigma and germinates, much like how a sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell. This then gives the plant enough chromosomes to produce a seed that can properly grow into a plant as its parents have.

Let me modify the above answer a little. The pollen grain carries a little packet of chromosomes, one half of the number in any cell of the parent plant. When the pollen grain lands on the stigma, it does indeed germinate and a long tube grows down the pistil to the ovary--that is what will become the fruit. Many, many pollen grains do this, in fact, at least one pollen grain for each seed. In the ovary are ovules that eventually become seeds. As the pollen tube grows down the pistil, one tube goes to each ovule and one little packet of chromosomes is deposited in each ovule.

The ovule has its own little pack of chromosomes, again one half of the number in any cell in the parent plant. These two halves get together and form one new cell that is now a combination of both parents. This cell divides and becomes the embryo in the seed. (If you open a peanut, between the two halves you see a little peanut plant--that is the embryo.)

Once the seed begins to grow and develop, phytohormones (plant hormones) are produced which cause the ovary to grow into a fruit which contains the seeds.

Answer 2

the flower then soon releases the seedlings an the wind carries them off and if some land in a good position then they grow into the original plant.

Well, when the pollen lands on the stigma, a tube forms that grows to the ovule and fertilizes it. Then the ovule soon turns to a fruit.

Answer 3

Pollination is a process of transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a stamen to the stigma of a carpel . Agent that helps in pollination are wind, insects, birds and water. And after pollination fertilization takes place.

Answer 4

The pollen grows a microscopic tube and sents bits of pollen to the obule of the plant and fertilizing the egg and forming seed pods or a fruit or vegetable

Answer 5

The seeds inside the cell is germinated which creates a zygote.

Answer 6

After a flower has been pollinated it will produce fruit if it is a successful pollination. The flower will die off as the fruit gets bigger.

Answer 7

they fall off because they spend all it's energy on making new seeds. P
