Lecture 10 Flashcards
Where does Microsporogenesis occur
Microsporangia
Where is Microsporangia located
Anther
How many Meiosis occurs in in each
2
Mother mega/microspore cell undergoes
Meiosis
Male Gametophyte
Pollen Grain
Pollen Grain Protected by
Outer layer (sporopollenin), Inner (cellulose)
Sporopollenin Protection
Resistant to degradation and fossilization
Parts of Pollen Grain
Pollen Tube, Generative Cell
Generative Cell produce?
Male gametes (sperm cells)
Meiosis forms
Tetrad
Megaspore undergoes how many mitosis
3
Megaspore mitosis produces
Polar Nuclei Cell, 7 eggs (1n) and 6 will disintegrate
Pollination: Stigma
Pollen reception, recognition, and hydration
Pollination: Pollen Tube (4)
1: Pollen Tube Reaches Ovule
2: Generative Cell Travels Pollen Tube
3: Generative Cell has Two Sperm (male gametes)
4: Double Fertilization
Double Fertilization n’s XXXXX
Egg cell (n) + Male gamete (n) = Zygote (2n)
Central cell (2n) + Male gamete (n) = Endosperm mother cell (3n)
