What is the tube that grows out of a pollen grain contains?
The tube that grows out of a pollen grain contains two sperm cells. These sperm cells are needed for fertilization in plants, where one sperm cell fuses with the egg cell to form a zygote, while the other fuses with the central cell to form the endosperm.
How do you xxplain the structure of the pollen grain describe the development of pollen grain and male gamete?
While still attached to the anther, the nucleus of the pollen grain divides, producing two nuclei, one of which becomes the tube nucleus, the other is called the generative nucleus. The generative nucleus divides again, forming two sperm cells. Once the pollen grain is released from the anther, it is transported (by wind or fauna) to the stigma of the female flower. Once a pollen grain has landed on the stigma, it begins to grow a pollen tube (there are three nuclei in the pollen tube, one from the tube nucleus, and the two sperm). When the pollen tube reaches the ovary, both sperm cells enter the ovule, one fuses with the egg nucleus, the other fuses with polar nuclei that is also inside the ovule, forming the endosperm.
When only one pollen grain is needed for fertilization?
Fertilization in flowering plants typically requires only one pollen grain to fertilize an ovule, leading to the formation of a seed. Once a pollen grain lands on a compatible stigma, it germinates and forms a pollen tube that carries sperm cells down to the ovule. If successful, one sperm cell will fuse with the egg cell, resulting in fertilization. This efficient process ensures genetic diversity while minimizing the resources needed for reproduction.
The male sex cell in a plant?
The male sex cell in a plant is called a pollen grain. It is produced in the anther of a flower and is responsible for fertilizing the female sex cell, located in the ovule, during the process of pollination.
What is the name of male sex cell in animals?
In animals it would be called a sperm. In plants I assume the answer would be the pollen, however, the pollen is not necessarily one cell. Even if it is one cell it will have more than one nucleus (2 or 3).
What is the ploidy of PEN?
PEN, or pollen tube, typically has a haploid ploidy level (n), as it develops from the haploid pollen grain during fertilization in flowering plants. The pollen grain itself originates from the male gametophyte, which undergoes meiosis to produce haploid cells. Therefore, the ploidy of PEN is haploid, containing one set of chromosomes.
What is the tube that grows out of a pollen grain contains?
The tube that grows out of a pollen grain contains two sperm cells. These sperm cells are needed for fertilization in plants, where one sperm cell fuses with the egg cell to form a zygote, while the other fuses with the central cell to form the endosperm.
What is one entire male gametophyte of a gymnosperm?
The male gametophyte of a gymnosperm is a pollen grain, which consists of two cells: a generative cell that will divide to form two sperm cells, and a tube cell that aids in the pollen tube formation.
Can a pollen grain of a flower have one lobe?
No, after a research it is not seen that a pollen grain of a flower have only one lobe. Commonly pollen grain have two or three lobes.

When a cell contains one sets of chromosomes it is said to be?
Haploid. A haploid cell contains one set of chromosomes (n), which is half the number of chromosomes found in a diploid cell. Haploid cells are typically found in reproductive cells like eggs and sperm.
How many cells does a mature male gametophyte have in an angiosperm contain?
a single pollen grain is only one cell. A mature pollen grain in many plants have two cells as a result of pollen mitosis- 1. the tube cell and 2. the germ cell. The tube cell forms the pollen tube at the time of pollen germination and the germ cell nucleus divides again to form two male gametes.
What is a cell with one chromosome?
haploid
Why is pollen a diploid?
Not sure what level you're asking this on; pollen is not really haploid (it has several cells). Anyway, here goes: In normal sexual reproduction, half of each parents' DNA combines to form a new genetic code. A haploid cell has half the number of chromosomes contained in a diploid (normal) cell. This means that the offspring are a mixture of the characteristics of the parent organisms, creating variety within the population. If pollen was not haploid, it could not provide genetic material capable of binding to the ovum's genes. Pollen actually contains 3 haploid cells; so a pollen grain is not a single cell. When it meets the stamen of another plant, one cell forms a tube going down to the ova, acting as a sort of navigation system, while 2 of the cells follow. It was at this point that this mornings genetics lecture ended, so to find out what happens next, I'll have to wait until next Monday. Hope some of that was useful :)
