By swimming in watery fluid through the neck of archegonium the sperm reaches to the egg in seedless plants.

What does fertilization not require in most seed plants?
a film of water to carry the sperm to the egg
The union of the ovum and the sperm is called what?
The union of the sperm and egg cell is caller fertilizationUnion of the egg and sperm cells is called fertilization. The egg then plants itself on the uterin wall. The two sets of DNA combine, then start replicating and dividing to make a baby.
What the process of egg cell and sperm cell?
The process when an egg cell and a sperm cell COMBINE is called Fertilization
What is the difference between sperm and egg?
Sperm is a male gamete and an egg is a female gamete. In plants when the male gametophyte undergoes meiosis it produces four sperm cells. When the female gametophyte goes through meiosis it makes one egg cell and three polar bodies. When the process of fertilization occurs in angiosperms (flowering plants) there is double fertilization. Double fertilization is when one sperm fertilizes the egg and another fertilizes a polar body so that in the seed that develops there is the embryo (fertilized egg), and the endosperm (fertilized polar body, nutrition source for embryo). In animals, eggs are much larger, non-motile, and have a full complement of organelles. They have a larger food store than sperm. Sperm are smaller, flagellated so they can swim, and really only have DNA and mitochondria to power the flagella. Sperm has protein in it's head to dissolve the egg's cell membrane.
Pollen in plants is most similar to which type of cell in humans?
sperm
What contains the sperm-producing parts in seed plants?
because of the egg cell
Seed plants do not require what for reproduction?
a film of water on the plant for the sperm to reach the egg
What does plants grow from?
Pollen grows inside the flower. The pollen acts as a guard for the egg and sperm of the flower. When pollination occurs and the egg and sperm are placed on another plant, fertilization happens to make more new flowers.
What does fertilization not require in most seed plants?

How are the Gametophytes of seed plant different from the gametophytes of seedless plants?
Seed plants:produce seeds Seedless plants:don't produce seeds
What joins with an egg to form a seed?
sperm
Why do seedless plants require water for reproduction?
Seedless plants require the liquid water because the sperm has to swim to reach the egg. This is in contrast to most seed plants, that fertilize using pollen transferred by wind or insects.
In seed plants what do female gametophytes produce?
egg
Why do seedless plants require liquid water for reproduction?
Seedless plants require the liquid water because the sperm has to swim to reach the egg. This is in contrast to most seed plants, that fertilize using pollen transferred by wind or insects.
How does the sperm unite with the ovum?
in almost every female plant there is an ovary chamber that the male flower sperm enters and finds eggs to fertilize. after the egg is fertilized it becomes a seed and the flower "plants" the seed.
In seed plants the what contains the egg?
ovary
What part of a flower becomes the seed when sperm cells fertilize the egg cells?
The ovary
