A flower produces pollen for pollination, so it needs a large amount of pollen to increase the chances of a pollinator, such as a bee or butterfly, getting pollen on it to spread to other flowers when it comes in contact with the flower.
Ovules are located inside the ovary of a flower. The ovary is what later becomes the fruit of the plant. The size of the fruit depends on how many ovules there are inside the flower. If there are five ovules, there will be five fruits, but each fruit will be smaller than a flower with only two ovules, and natural selection dictates that the larger the fruit, the more appealing it will be to any herbivores or omnivores that pass-by.
So, based upon this information, it is a requirement for there to be fewer ovules than pollen.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of spores are produced by flowering plants?
Flowering plants produce pollen grains, which are equivalent to spores in non-flowering plants. These pollen grains are responsible for plant reproduction through the process of pollination, where they are transferred to the female reproductive organs of the flower for fertilization.
Do all seed plants have flowers?
Conifers make seeds but they don't have flowers.They have cones (such as pine cones) instead. The female cone produces seeds when it is fertilized by the pollen from the male cone, which is smaller and not woody.Some conifers are: pine, spruce, cedar, larch, cypress, juniper and redwood.
Is it true most bacteria produce pollen to make seeds?
No, they do not. They reproduce by budding. Pollen is produced by flowering plants.
What does flowers does in plants?
Flowering plants do not have a sporophyte. They have antheridium and archegonium to produce their gametes. Sporophyte is found in ferns, mosses, club mosses, lycophytes, etc but not in flowering plants. Flowering plants produces pollen while a sporophyte produces spores
How do flowering plants produce male gametes?
Flowering plants produce male gametes through a process called meiosis, where cells in the anthers divide to form haploid pollen grains. Each pollen grain contains a male gamete that is necessary for fertilizing the female gametes in the ovules of the flower. This process ensures sexual reproduction and the formation of seeds in flowering plants.
Do conifers produce seeds?
conifers will not produce seeds. they produce cones

Do conifers reproduce using seeds or spores?
spores

What is the characteristic of the flowering plants?
Primary reproductive organ is the flower Produce pollen Produce ovules Produce seed
How do conifers differ from flowering plants?
Conifers are different to flowering plants because conifer reproduce with seed cones. The pollen come out of the male cone and fertilises the ovule or female cone. Conifers are also different because the have needle like leaves but I'm not sure if that's relevant... Any way, I hope this has helped. You might have to do a bit more research. Conifers also have naked seeds, whereas flowering plants have their seeds encased in flesh (fruit). Although some conifers like the plum pines also have fruit. Also flowering plants have... flowers. And non flowering plants don't. But I thought that was obvious.
Do conifers have seeds?
Conifers don't produce real flowers. However they do produce "flower-like pollen."
Do plants have reproductive organs Explain how they reproduce?
Yes, most plants have reproductive organs. In flowering plants these are the anthers which produce pollen and the ovaries which produce ovules, both of which are found in flowers. Reproduction occurs when pollen is transferred to the stigma of a flower and fertilization ensues. In ferns the corresponding parts are antheridia and archegonia which are on the undersides of the fronds. Mosses are similar, whilst conifers are more like flowering plants with the cones taking the place of flowers. By contrast, very simple plants reproduce by simple fission.
In flowering plants the sporophyte does what?
Flowering plants do not have a sporophyte. They have antheridium and archegonium to produce their gametes. Sporophyte is found in ferns, mosses, club mosses, lycophytes, etc but not in flowering plants. Flowering plants produces pollen while a sporophyte produces spores
What is pollen grain like from non flowering plants?
Pollen grains from plants which do not flower are very similar to that of flowering plants, except they are different.
What does flowers does in plants?
Flowering plants do not have a sporophyte. They have antheridium and archegonium to produce their gametes. Sporophyte is found in ferns, mosses, club mosses, lycophytes, etc but not in flowering plants. Flowering plants produces pollen while a sporophyte produces spores
