Which part of a flower plays the greatest role in sexual reproduction?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
The flower of the plant is directly involved in sexual reproduction.
More specifically, the anthers produce pollen. The pollen then lands on another plant's stigma and travels down the style, and fertilizes the ovules.

Anther, stigma, style, pollen tube (debatable), ovary, ovule, egg.
The collective male parts are called the stamen and the collective female parts are the carpel

How do fungi produce offspring that are not identical?
Surprisingly, fungi can actually undergo sexual reproduction, despite asexual reproduction being a major feature. It's different from most sexual reproduction in how it plays out, however. Hyphae are created, rather than sperm and eggs.
How does sexual reproduction produce variation in offspring?
Sexual reproduction is a source of genetic variation. Recombination of chromosomes during meiosis allows for the exchange of DNA, also known as independent assortment. Random segregation also plays a role, as well as some mutations to change the phenotype within different offspring.
What are the functions of the reproductive parts of plants and animals?
In brief the reprodutive structures of slowering plants (both gymnosperms and angiosperms) are to facilitate the sexual reproduction of the plant and disemination of the seeds of the plant. They can be divided into the following catagories: Flowers (anthers, stigma, style and ovary - or variations thereof) Fruit (in the case of angiosperms, naked seeds within a cone in the case of gymnosperms) Seed (common to both gynosperms and angiosperms)
How does meiosis maintain a constant number of chromosomes in the body cells of organisms that reproduce sexually?
The purpose of meiosis is to divide the number of chromosomes in gamete cells (spermatazoa and oocytes) to the haploid number (23 chromosomes). Meiosis ensures the proper number of chromosomes to form a zygote, which is 46 chromosomes (diploid number), during fertilization. Essentially, somatic cells (all other cells except gamete cells) require 46 chromosomes. 23 of these come from the mother and the other 23 from the father. During fertilization, the sperm and oocyte containing the haploid number come together to produce the diploid number. Thus, without mieosis, sexual reproduction would result in zygotes with twice the number of chromosomes (and would continue exponentially)... something that would cause deformities and/or death of the future fetus.
What is function of meiosis?
meiosis is a type of cell division wherein there are four sister chromosomes that will be formed. Just like mitosis,,the function of this cell division is to replace old cells in the body to sustain and for the life of the specie of a certain life form to survive.

What contains the sexual organs of the plant?
The sexual organs of a plant are in the flowers. The pistil (center "post" inside a flower) is the female part of the flower, and the stamens (located around the pistil) are the male parts of the flower. A flower can sometimes pollinate itself, but usually, an intermediary is involved. That is where the term "birds and bees" come from. Bees and small birds try to gather nectar from the plants, and in the process, they knock pollen onto the pistils and carry pollen between plants. Pollen plays the same role in plants that semen plays in humans and other animals.

How is successful reproduction important to the theory of natural selection?
If you're referring to "sexual reproduction" and the theory of evolution, then yes. It plays a major part in the evolution of organisms which use it, as it offers major advantages.
