Does a male or female cone produce seeds?
Female cones produce seeds. They contain the ovules that are fertilized by pollen from male cones, leading to seed development.
WHAT IS THE Difference between male and female pine cones?
The pine cones that you are familiar with are probably female pine cones. You probably have never noticed male pine cones because they are much smaller and don't look much like the female pine cones. Male pine cones are much smaller and produce pollen grains. Female pine cones contain the egg. The pollen is carried from the male pine cones to the female pine cones by the wind.
What are the reproductive structures of genosperms?
Most Gymnosperms are diecious with the male and female reproductive organs on different plants. The male "flower" produces pollen and the female "flower" contains the ovary. Many female gymnosperms produce cones that house the fertilized eggs until the seeds are mature.
Does pollen grain make the male sex cells of a flower?
Is pollen part of the male or female structures of a plant?
What is the difference between pollonation and fertilization?
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organ to the female reproductive organ of plants, while fertilization is the fusion of the male and female gametes to form a zygote. Pollination is necessary for fertilization to occur in flowering plants, as it brings the male gametes (pollen) to the female gametes (ovule).
Does a male or female cone produce seeds?
Female cones produce seeds. They contain the ovules that are fertilized by pollen from male cones, leading to seed development.
What is the male sex cell from a pollen grain called?
The male sex cell from a pollen grain is called a sperm cell. It is responsible for fertilizing the female sex cell (ovule) in plants during the process of pollination.
What is the plant part that is formed by the successful union of the male pollen cell and female ovule and thus carries characteristics of both parents?
The plant part that is formed by the successful union of the male pollen cell and female ovule is called a seed. Seeds contain genetic material from both parents and have the potential to grow into a new plant.
What is the name of male sex cell in animals?
In animals it would be called a sperm. In plants I assume the answer would be the pollen, however, the pollen is not necessarily one cell. Even if it is one cell it will have more than one nucleus (2 or 3).
Pollen is produced by what type of cones?
Pollen is produced by male cones, also known as strobili, in gymnosperms, such as conifers and cycads. These cones shed pollen grains that contain male gametes for fertilizing the ovules in female cones.
What does a pollen grain and ovule each contain?
Pollen grains contain the male gametes required for sexual reproduction of a plant/ flower. These are haploid, and only contain half the full set of chromosomes; the other half is contributed by the female gamete (or ovule).A grain of pollen contains:a larger vegetative cell (also called the tube cell) inside of which is aa smaller germ cell (also called the generative cell).The pollen grain "germinates" on the stigma of the receptive flower and grows down the style, once it reaches the ovule the germ cell/ nucleus fuses with the nucleus of the ovule and an embryo is formed
Are the cones produced by evergreens or conifers male or female?
Cones produced by evergreens or conifers can be either male or female. Male cones release pollen, while female cones contain seeds.
What happens when pollen is moved from the anthers to the stigma?
Pollen grains contain the male gamete (sex cell).
What is the male reproductive cell of a plant called?
The male reproductive cell of a plant is called a pollen grain. Pollen grains are produced in the anthers of flowers and contain the male gametes, which are essential for fertilization. When pollen is transferred to the stigma of a compatible flower, it can germinate and lead to the formation of seeds.
Can flowers be both male and female How?
Yes, it is quite common for flowers to be both male and female. They contain structures called pistils and stamens. The pistil is female because it receives the male gamete (in the form of pollen) and combines it with the female gamete to form a plant embryo. The stamen is male because it releases pollen (the male gamete).
In angiosperms the male gametophyte is?
The male gametophyte in an angiosperm is the stamen. The female gametophyte in an angiosperm is the pistil.This is completely wrong. The male gametophyte consists of the generative cell and the tube cell in the pollen grain. The female gametophyte is the 7-celled 8 nucleate embryo sac.
What are reproductive cells in the pollen?
Pollen are male sex cells. So they contain sperms.
