Why dont the sperm nuclei of the male gametophyte of flowering plants have flagella?

During pollination, the sperm of the male gametophyte are not flagellated because they generally do not move. They rely on the growth of a pollen tube to deliver them to the egg cell.

Is the sporophyte stage of a moss much larger than the gametophyte stage?
Ferns have a dominant sporophyte and a reduced gametophyte. As for moss, it depends on the type. If referring to mosses under the phylum Bryophyta (these are the nonvascular mosses) they have a dominant gametophyte. If referring to mosses under seedless vascular category, such as club mosses in the phylum Lycophyta, these plants have a dominant sporophyte and a reduced gametophyte.
What is the phylum of a marigold?
The phylum for common marigolds is angiosperms. Angiosperms are the flowering plants.
What domain is plantae in?
All plants belong to the taxonomic domain of Eukarya, which are characterised by having cells with nuclei. Eukarya covers all organisms in the Kingdom Animalia, as well as the Kingdoms Plantae, Fungi and Protista.
Why do flowering plants disperse their seeds?
The parent plants want the seeds to go away from the parent plants so that their genes don't compete. That is why they will blow around or catch on a animals coat.
Approximately how many different species of flowering plants have been identified by scientists thus far?
250,000 Different Species
What flowering plants becomes the female gametophyte?
In flowering plants, megaspores become the female gametophytes.
In flowering plant which of these becomes the female gametophyte?
In flowering plants, the megaspore becomes the female gametophyte. It is the larger meiospore produced in heterosporous plants, and is the embryonic sac of a flower.
What structure does the male gametophyte become?
In flowering plants, megaspores become the female gametophytes.
The male gametophyte in flowering plants will be found within the?
it is pollen
How are the life cycle of all flowering plants the same?
It has got a dependent gametophyte on main sporophytic plant body and embryo develops inside the embryo sac in all flowering angiospermic plants.
Why can we say that the embryo sac is the female gametophyte of flowering plants?
Because it is where the embryo of a seed plant develops. I hope my answer can help you. =)
Why don't the sperm nuclei of the male gametophyte of flowering plants have flagella?
because they do not need them for one reson they dont swim [Another explanation] Plants use other methods to transport mature pollen grains to cross-pollinate other flowers or self-pollenate. Because plants can't move about freely like animals do, plants utilize the wind and insects to help carry mature pollen grains to other flowers. Plants exploit the needs of insects such as bees providing nectar in order that in the process attach pollen grains to bees, whom will carry it on to the next flower they come in contact with.
Are plants flowering or none flowering?
You get both flowering plants and non-flowering plants; non-flowering are things like mosses, ferns and liverworts which produce spore, flowering plants produce seeds
What type of plants are flowering?
There are two types of flowering plants. These two types of flowering plants are the perennials and the annual flowering plants.
How is the reduced gametophyte an adaptation for seeded plants?
Since , in the seed bearing plants the gametophyte is reduced that is why they have spread far and wide.
What is female gametophyte?
Embryo sac is the female gametophyte of flowering plants. Situated in the flower. It is dependent on the sporophyte (what we call plant) for nutrition. here the gametophyte is reduced and sporophyte is dominant.In lower plants the female gametophyte is prominent and independent where it can photosynthesize. Usually it is called as a thallus. Here the sporophyte is reduced and the gametophyte is dominant.
What do the spores of plants turn into?
A Gametophyte
