Does each flower on an almond tree produce one almond?

No, each flower on an almond tree produces about 2 almonds each. So pretty close to the #1, but produces 1 more almond each.


Why do flowering plants produce less pollen than conifers?

A flower produces pollen for pollination, so it needs a large amount of pollen to increase the chances of a pollinator, such as a bee or butterfly, getting pollen on it to spread to other flowers when it comes in contact with the flower. Ovules are located inside the ovary of a flower. The ovary is what later becomes the fruit of the plant. The size of the fruit depends on how many ovules there are inside the flower. If there are five ovules, there will be five fruits, but each fruit will be smaller than a flower with only two ovules, and natural selection dictates that the larger the fruit, the more appealing it will be to any herbivores or omnivores that pass-by. So, based upon this information, it is a requirement for there to be fewer ovules than pollen.

How many number of stamens does tulips flower have?

Tulip flowers typically have six stamens. Each stamen is composed of an anther, which produces the pollen, and a filament, which supports the anther.


Describe fertilization and where it occurs?

Fertilization is occurred when ripe pollen from an anther of the same kind of flower catches on the stigma, each pollen grain sends out a tiny threadlike tube. The tube grows down through the style and pierces one of the ovules in the ovary. This process is called fertilization.

Are the eggs contained in the ovary of a flower?

Flowers are made up of; Sepals Protect the unopened flower Petals May be brightly coloured to attract insects Stamens The male parts of the flower (each consists of an anther held up on a filament) Anthers Produce male sex cells (pollen grains) Stigma The top of the female part of the flower which collects pollen grains Ovary Produces the female sex cells (contained in the ovules) Nectary Produce a sugary solution called nectar, which attracts insects that in turn assist in pollenation

What is inside a plant ovary?

The ovary is one of the structural units from a gynoecium (female reproductive part of plant). The gynoecium is composed of carpels which consists of 3 parts - a style, stigma and ovary. The ovary contains a cavity that surrounds the ovules, containing female egg cells. Each ovule is connected to a placenta (lines the inside of the ovary). After fertilization, the ovules develop into seeds, causing the carpels to turn into fruit.


Bees visit the flowers on the apple trees to get food how might a disease that kills bees affect the number of apples the trees make?

When a bee visits an apple tree, as it goes from flower to flower it transfers pollen from the anthers of one flower to the stigma of the next, fertilizing the flower. Apple flowers have five ovaries, each with two ovules, and each with its own stigma. All of these have to be pollinated for fully developed apples to form. Bees are by far the major pollinator, so if we lost all the bees there would be very few, if any, apples.


What is the Shape of anther in jasmine?

What is the shape of jasmine flower? Each flower has between four and nine petals, four ovules and two locules. They have two stamens brandishing extremely short filaments, with linear or ovate bracts, with a bell-shaped calyx. Jasmine flowers also boast fruits in the shape of berries that change to black when ripe. Hope it helps!


What is the male part of the flower that produces and stores pollen?

Plants that reproduce sexually have male and female parts, which are located in the flowers. Several of the male structures, called stamens, surround a female structure called the pistil. The stamens produce sperm cells that fertilize egg cells contained in the base of a pistil, often one that is located in a different plant. The male part of the flower produces pollen grains which contains 2 male sex cells each that fertilise the female sex cell.
