The angiosperm life cycle begins with a diploid (2n) flower on the mature sporophyte plant. Within the anther, the microsporocytes develop and undergo meiosis (reduction of chromosomes) to produce haploid (n) microspores. Each of these undergoes one mitotic division to produce a generative cell and a tube cell. Together they make an immature microgametophyte, or pollen grain. The generative cell completes a second mitotic division to produce two sperm nuclei. Inside the ovule a single megasporocyte develops, undergoes meiosis, and produces four haploid (n) megaspores. Three of these die off, while the fourth undergoes three mitotic divisions to produce an eight-nucleate embryo sac, or mature megagametophyte. Upon pollination, the pollen grain germinates on the stigma, a pollen tube grows down the style and into the ovary through the micropyle. One sperm nucleus fuses with the egg to create a diploid (2n) zygote, while the other sperm nucleus fuses with the two polar nuclei to produce the nutritive, triploid endosperm. The embryo develops inside the embryo sac, integuments of the ovule form a protective seed coat around it that provides protection and nutrients. The seed is then shed from the fruit and the development of the embryo is temporarily halted until the proper conditions are established. Once the proper conditions are established seed germination takes place and the embryo grows into a mature diploid (2n) sporophyte, which produces flowers and completes one cycle of the alternation of generations.
The dominant phase of an angiosperm life cycle is the sporophyte phase. This is the phase where the plant is in its mature form, producing flowers and seeds through the process of sexual reproduction. The sporophyte phase is the main phase where growth and development occur in angiosperms.
The main features water cycle would still exist if there was no life on earth, however the carbon cycle (as we know it) is dependent on life.
The steps in the diploid life cycle are meiosis, to gametes, to fertilization, to diploid, to reproductive cell. The main steps are Meiosis and Fertilization.
False. The sun is a yellow main sequence star.
Angiosperms are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within a fruit, while non-angiosperms, like gymnosperms and ferns, do not produce flowers or fruits. Angiosperms have specialized reproductive structures that aid in pollination and seed dispersal, whereas non-angiosperms rely on other methods for reproduction.

they both have 5 main stages
What are the main stages of an animal life
the main events were that i dont know what was the main events
because of
dead
main sequence
The "main sequence".
How does the life cycle of humans compare to the life cycle of a star? They both have stages where they are born and die which is in the main sequence and supernova and in a human they are born in a womb and die of old age.
her brother dieing
