What does a pollen grain and ovule each contain?
Pollen grains contain the male gametes required for sexual reproduction of a plant/ flower. These are haploid, and only contain half the full set of chromosomes; the other half is contributed by the female gamete (or ovule).A grain of pollen contains:a larger vegetative cell (also called the tube cell) inside of which is aa smaller germ cell (also called the generative cell).The pollen grain "germinates" on the stigma of the receptive flower and grows down the style, once it reaches the ovule the germ cell/ nucleus fuses with the nucleus of the ovule and an embryo is formed
Is there pollen grain inside the pollen cell?
A single pollen grain contains the generative material that forms the male gametes. It also contains the material that will form the pollen tube when the pollen lands on the pistil. These are covered by a thin layer called the intine or endospore as well as a thick protective wall called the exine or exospore.
What is the name of the sex cells that are produced in the stamen?
The sex cells produced in the stamen of a flower are called pollen grains. Each pollen grain contains the male gamete, which is necessary for fertilization to occur when it reaches the female reproductive parts of the flower.
Describe fertilization and where it occurs?
Fertilization is occurred when ripe pollen from an anther of the same kind of flower catches on the stigma, each pollen grain sends out a tiny threadlike tube. The tube grows down through the style and pierces one of the ovules in the ovary. This process is called fertilization.
How many pollen cells are on one anther of tobacco plant?
A tobacco plant typically has four pollen sacs (microsporangia) on each anther. Each of these sacs contains numerous pollen cells, which are the male reproductive cells that will be dispersed for fertilization. The exact number of pollen cells can vary, but it is typically in the thousands for each anther.
Does sperm cell grows out of a pollen grain?
No, sperm cells do not grow out of a pollen grain. In plants, sperm cells are produced within the pollen grain, and they are involved in fertilization when the pollen grain reaches a female reproductive structure. Each pollen grain contains two sperm cells.
How many male sex cells does each pollen grain contain?
One.
What happens when two pollen grains land on the same stigma and after the first grain fertilises the ovule?
When a pollen grain lands on stigma, pollination occurs. The pollen grain germinates and the pollen tube grows through the style. The sperm nucleus travels through the tube (generated by the tube nucleus) and fuses with an ovule which then develops into an embryo (or zygote)
What do micro spores develop into?
Each microspore can develop into a male gametophyte,or pollen grain
A structure grown by a pollen grain that contains two sperm nuclei is called what?
The structure grown by a pollen grain that contains two sperm nuclei is called the pollen tube. The pollen tube is responsible for delivering the sperm nuclei to the ovule for fertilization in plants.

How do the sperm nuclei in a pollen grain reach the egg nucleus in an ovule?
When they land on the style they begin to bore their way through the stigma all the way to the ovule. Through the tube made by the tube nucleus of the pollen grain: each pollen grain has two nuclei, one called generative nucleus which combines with the nuclei of the ovule, and the other called tube nucleus tube nucleus which forms a tube that penetrates the stigma till it reaches ovule then it degenerates.
What do you call the yellow powder in flowers?
You are describing pollen grains. Each grain contains a male gamete that can fertilize the female ovule, to which pollen is transported by the wind, insects, or other animals.
What is the function of the pollen tube?
The pollen tube of most seed plants acts as a conduit to transport sperm cells from the pollen grain, either from the stigma (in flowering plants or angiosperms) to the ovules at the base of the pistil, or directly through ovule tissue in some gymnosperms (conifers and gnetophytes).
