How does pollination take place in flowering plants?
Pollination is the process of transferring male pollen grains to the stigma of the plant (either the same plant = self-pollination, or another related plant close by = cross-pollination). The pollen grains germinate and grow down the style of the plant where the fuse with the female ovules, this results in an embryo being formed, which then becomes the seed of the plant. Pollination is aided by various (so called) "agents" or "vectors", these are things that assist in moving the pollen grains from the anther to the stigma. Vectors/ agents include: wind, insects (bees, butterflies, ants, moths etc.) water in some cases, animals (cats, dogs, sheep, cows, humans etc.)
What is the name given to the structure in the flower in which the sperm cell is formed?
The structure in the flower where sperm cells are formed is called the anther. It is part of the male reproductive organs of the flower and is responsible for producing pollen grains containing the sperm cells.
What are the characteristics of self pollinated plants?
•Large,colourful petals. •scented •nectaries are present •small, sticky stigma •stamens are enclosed within the flower •anthers are fused to their bases or along their backs to the filaments •produces less pollen Pollen grains are heavy, sticky and large •complex flower structure.
Where are a plants sperm cells located before fertilization occurs?
When a pollen grain is immature male gametophyte, it has two cells ,a generative cell and a tube cell. A pollen grain becomes a mature male gametophyte when the generative cell divides by mitosis to form two sperm cells. In most species, this process occures after the pollen grain lands on the stigma of a carpel and the pollen tube begins to form. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Where sperm form in seed plants?
Sperm cells in seed plants are typically formed within the pollen grains, which are produced in the male reproductive structures of the plant (anther). When the pollen grain reaches the female reproductive structure (ovule) of the plant, the sperm cells are released and fertilization occurs.
How does sperm get from stigma to ovule in a flower?
In flowers, sperm are usually contained within pollen grains. These pollen grains are transferred from the stigma (the receptive surface) to the ovule (located within the ovary) through the elongated tube-like structure called the pollen tube. The pollen tube grows down through the style (the tube connecting the stigma and ovary) and delivers the sperm to the ovule for fertilization to occur.
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 is style on a plant?
The style is a long, slender stalk found within the flower. It links the stigma and the ovary. The stigma is located at the top of the style and it is a sticky platform in which the pollen grains are deposited.
The site of formation of pollen grains?
Pollen grains are formed in the anthers of the flower's stamen through a process called microsporogenesis. Within the anthers, specialized cells undergo meiosis to produce microspores, which then develop into pollen grains through a series of cell divisions and differentiation.
Where does pollen grains form?
Pollen grains are formed within the anthers of flowering plants, which are the male reproductive structures where pollen grains develop and mature. The process of pollen grain formation is called microsporogenesis.

How does pollination works?
On maturity of pollen grains , the anther lobes burst open and the pollen grains released in large amonut are carried by wind to several meters away to settle on feathery stigma as in case of plants of grass family.
Where are pollen grains located in flower?
Pollen grains are located in the anther of flowers.

What is a flower's sperm?
A flower's sperm is contained within the pollen grains. These pollen grains are produced in the male reproductive organs of the flower, called the stamens. When the pollen grains are transferred to the female reproductive organs of another flower, they can fertilize the ovules and lead to seed development.
