microgametogenesis🏰🧁 Flashcards
male gametophyte
microspore/pollen grain
PRE POLLINATION DEVELOPMENT
at first,pollen g nucleus divides by
uneuqal mitosis
small nucleus +nt near the wall is
generative nucleus
large irregular nuleus +nt inside cytoplsasm
tube nucleus or vegetative n.
when pollen g is mature it contains
2 cells
generative cell changed into
vermiform / spindle shaped structure w/ dense cytoplasm and now detaches to float in the cytoplasm of vegetative nucleus
in over 60%angiosperms pollen g are shed at
2 cellled stage then after tht inside polen tube gen. cell divides mitotically t form 2 non motile male gametes—————–in capsella
in remaining species the gen. nuclleus divides mitotically to form
2 nonmotile male gametes; 3 celled species
POST POLLINATION DEVELOPMENT
firstly ___ enters the pollen t and takes ___ position.then enters the gen. nucleuss
veg. nucleus ; terminal
male gametophyte of angio. is highly reduced
n is comletely depended on sporophyte
for formn of a mature pollen g from mmc or pmc divisions?
1 mieotic and 1 mtotic divisions
for formation of a mature male gameophyte div.?
1 meiosis and 2 mitosis
