∙ 13y agoPollen grains are the "vessels" that carry the male gametophytes from one flower to another where it has the opportunity to merge with the female gameteophyte and produce a new (hybrid), the zygote/ embryo. This becomes the seed, which eventually germinates into a new plant.
Pollen grains are useful as they protect the (male) genetic material during the process of pollination. From a Natural Resources perspective, pollen is a "cheap" biological way to spread genetic material en mass and is a good trade off between biological costs and benefits.

The generation of a plant responsible for producing gametes is the?
Pollen are produced in the anther of the stamen, which is the male part of the plant. The pollen is transferred to the ovule of the ovary (the female part of the plant). Both pollen and ovule are haploid gametes.
Pollen from flowers on one plant can fertilize flowers on a different plant. what is this process called?

How insects help in pollination?
they bring pollen from plant to plant when they are collecting pollen

Suggest one use of a stigma to a flowering plant?
A Stigma can help in collecting/catching the pollen (sperm) of another plant, and holds the eggs to be fertilized by the pollen.
How do wind help pollination?
It carries pollen to a pistil of another plant
How do flowers help a plant?
Flowers aid a plant in reproducing. Bees come and get pollen from a flower, and in the prosess take pollen from the male part of a flower and it is then placed on the female part. The pollen then produces a pollen tube and will soon become fruit or seeds.
How can animals help plant reproduction?
bees get pollen on there legs as they go from flower to flower.The different pollen on the bees legs pollenates the flowers to help them live.
Special features in pollen?
There is 1 very special about a plant's pollen. A plant's pollen is the plant's sexual form of reproduction and it is done outside of the plant.
How does a honeybee help a plant reproduce?

Why are animals important in plant reproduction?
Animals help to transfer pollen from a flower to another.
What are pollen bags called?
pollen bags are for collecting pollen from one plant and tranfering to another plant in order to breed.
How does the body structure of insect help in pollination?
The way the legs of most insects ,such as bees, have little hairs that pick up pollen. Then when it moves to another plant it leaves some of that pollen on the plant.
How does pollen from a flowering plant reach another plant?
by the help of pollinating agents like wind ,water or insects or animals.
