Best Answer

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 and when does fertilization ocur?

Fertilization occurs whenever a male sperm cell meets a female egg cell. For mammals, it is in the uterus, but in plants, it is the stigma and ovary.


Fertilization normally occurs where?

Fertilization normally occurs in the fallopian tubes. The sperm swim to the fallopian tubes and wait for ovulation to occur, they then swim to meet the egg. Once fertilization occurs the fertilized egg travel down to the uterus where it implants, and this is when a female is pregnant. In higher plants (angiosperms) fertilization occurs in the embryo sac. Out of two male gametes released from the pollen tube one fuses with the egg while the other one fuses with secondary nucleus (secondary nucleus is formed by the fusion of two polar nuclei). Thus, double fertilization occurs in such plants. The embryo develops from the zygote and the endosperm develops from triple fusion.

How does fertilization in a seed plants differ from fertilization in seedless plants?

Seed plants produce seeds to overcome the adverse environmental conditions whereas seedless plants overcome the adverse environmental conditions by vegetative parts such as tubers, gemma cups or even spores. Since formation of seed involves genetic advance seed formation for reproduction is more successful in nature.

How is fertilization in flowering plants different from fertilization in other plant groups?

Fertilization in flowering plants is achieved by transferring the male gamete through pollen tube whereas in nonflowering plants the male male gametes are motile and transferred in aqueous medium.
