A pollination tube, or pollen tube, is a thin tube that is a part of the male gametophype. It is found in seed plants and works by acting as a sort of conduit to transport gamete cells.

What is the purpose of the pollination tube that forms after pollination?

the purpose of the of pollen tube is to fuse or join with the ovules to cause fertilization.


Does pollen tube grow before or after pollination occurs?

Pollen tube growth occurs after pollination. Pollen grains are deposited on the stigma during pollination, which then germinate to produce pollen tubes. These tubes grow down through the style to reach the ovule for fertilization.


Where do the pollen grains go after pollination?

After pollination, the pollen grains germinate on the stigma and grow a pollen tube down the style to reach the ovule. The pollen tube delivers sperm cells to fertilize the egg cell within the ovule, leading to the formation of a seed.


What happens between pollination and fertilisation?

After pollination, the pollen grain germinates and forms a pollen tube that grows down the style of the pistil to reach the ovule. Fertilisation occurs when the sperm cell from the pollen grain fuses with the egg cell in the ovule, resulting in the formation of a zygote.


Which structure do pollen grains attach during pollination?

Pollen grains attach to the stigma of a flower's pistil during pollination. The stigma is the receptive part of the pistil where the pollen lands and germinates to form a pollen tube for fertilization to occur.


What structure are you likely able to see in the pollen tube and when would you be able to see it?

You are likely to see the tube cell, vegetative nucleus, generative cell, and the tube nucleus in a pollen tube. This structure can be observed during the process of pollination when the male gametophyte is being transported from the pollen grain to the ovule.


What occurs between pollination and fertilization?

After pollination, the pollen grain germinates on the stigma and grows a pollen tube down to the ovary. Fertilization occurs when the male gametes in the pollen tube combine with the female gametes in the ovule, forming a zygote.


What process happens when pollen falls on a flowers pistil?

When pollen falls on a flower's pistil, a process called pollination occurs. The pollen travels down the pistil to reach the ovary, where fertilization takes place. This fertilization leads to the formation of seeds, which eventually develop into fruits.


Can seeds form without pollination?

No, because pollen is required for a pollen tube to be created for the sperm cells to move into the ovary and connect with egg cells (the process of fertilization). Because then the one of the pollen's cells will divide, forming two haploid sperm. When the pollen tube reaches the ovule in the ovary, it enters the embryo sac and releases both sperm cells. Then, two fertilizations (also called double-fertilization) take place.


What are the three types of pollination?

self-pollination cross-pollination wind-pollination


Distinguish between self-pollination cross-pollination?

The process of pollination from same flower is called self-pollination. the process of pollination from another flower of same breed is called cross-pollination.


What does a pollen grain landing near an ovule produce?

If a pollen grain lands near an ovule, it can lead to pollination, where the pollen grain forms a pollen tube that grows towards the ovule. Once the pollen tube reaches the ovule, fertilization can occur, resulting in the formation of a seed.
