Concept explainers

Angiosperm Reproduction

The process of sexual reproduction in flowering plants is known as angiosperm reproduction. In flowering plants, reproduction begins with pollination, or the transfer of male gametes (pollen) from the male reproductive organ (anther) to the female reproductive organ (pistil), and ends with fertilization of the female gametes (egg), which produces a zygote, which then grows to become a mature plant.

The drooping, bell-like flower Aquilegia canadensis is adapted for cross-pollination. However, if the plant has not been pollinated previously, self-pollination can occur. However, if cross pollination occurs after self-pollination takes place, the pollen from cross pollination reaches the style before the pollen from self-pollination. Using course concepts and vocabulary 1) Provide a reasoning for this phenomenon. 2) Would this adaptation for reproduction be beneficial for the plant?
Plants reproduce through various methods. Explain which method helps to create genetic variability in crop plants? Moreover elaborate mechanisms promoting self or cross pollination.
Why knowledge of mode of reproduction and pollination is important for plant breeders? How reproduction mechanisms played their role in creating variation and also give view regarding mechanism that could be responsible for causing different type of pollination. explain briefly.
In the Kotukutuku plant, Fuchsia excortiata, why do pollinated flowers remain attached to the plant for several days after pollination occurs and nectar is no longer produced Size of flower and pollination Annual versus perennial reproduction Time and expense to grow the pollen tube outweighs the cost of maintaining the flower on the tree Size of flower and number of flowers on inflorescence
In flowers, the structures that produce male gametophytes are called _______ ;the strcutures that produce female gametophytes are called _______ . a. pollen grains; flowers c. anthers; stigma b. stamen; carpels d. megaspores; microspores
And some plants as stigma becomes receptive to Polin able to facilitate a pollen tube at a different time from when the anthers ripen. How would this affect the plant reproductive strategy why would this increase diversity in the plants offspring?
Mention two strategies evolved to prevent self-pollination in flowers.
An alternation of generation life cycle in plants is advantageous because: each generation is morphologically similar. it protects reproductive structures. the gametes fuse in open water. it is haploid-dominant.
In their experiments with the flowers of Begonia involucrate, Agren and Schemske (1991) observed that there was a trade-off between what two characteristics? Size of flower and number of flowers on inflorescence Size of flower and pollination Annual versus perennial reproduction O Time and expense to grow the pollen tube versus cost of maintaining the flower on the tree
