Q

pollination

A

The transfer of polling grains from anther to stigma of the flower is called
as pollination.

44
Q

autogamy

A
  • Transfer of pollen
    grain from anther
    of a flower to
    stigma of the same
    flower.
45
Q

geitonoigamy

A

Transfer of pollen
grain from anther
of a flower to
stigma of another
flower on the same
plant.

46
Q

xenogamy

A

Transfer of pollen
grain from anther
of a flower to
stigma of another
flower of a
different plant.

52
Q

chiropterophily

A

53
Q

dioecism

A

The plant bears either male or female flowers.

54
Q

dichogamy

A

Anthers and stigma mature at different times.

55
Q

protandry

A

Anthers and stigma mature at different times.

56
Q

protogyny

A

gynoecium matures earlier than androecium

57
Q

prepotency

A

Pollen grains of other flowers germinate rapidly over the stigma than
the pollen grains from the same flower.

58
Q

heteromorphy

A

There are two or three forms/ types of flowers in which stigmas and
anthers are placed at different levels

59
Q

herkogamy

A
  • It is a mechanical device to prevent self pollination in a bisexual
    flower.
  • In plants, natural physical barrier is present between two sex organs
    and avoid contact of pollen with stigma of same flower. (state
    example)
60
Q

self-incompatibility/sterility

A

This is a genetic mechanism due to which the germination of pollen
on stigma of the same flower is inhibited.

61
Q

pollen-pistil interaction

A

It is the interaction of pollen grains with sporophytic tissue (stigma).
* It begins with pollination and ends with fertilization.

62
Q

porogamy

A
63
Q

chalazogamy

A
64
Q

mesogamy

A
65
Q

siphonogamy

A

The compatible pollen germinates and produces
pollen tube. The non-motile male gametes are
carried through the pollen tube

66
Q

syngamy

A

The haploid male gamete fuses with haploid female
gamete (egg) to produce a diploid zygote

67
Q

triple fusion

A

The second haploid male gamete fuses with diploid
secondary nucleus to produce a primary
endosperm nucleus (PEN) that develops into
triploid endosperm

68
Q

endosperm

A

The triploid primary endosperm nucleus repeatedly divides,
mitotically to form nutritive tissue, called endosperm.

69
Q

embryogenesis

A

The embryo is developed at the micropylar end of embryo sac.
* The growth of embryo triggers only after certain amount of
endosperm is formed.
