Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The male gametophytes, as the name suggests is the male unit of sexual reproduction in plants. There are two, sometimes three cells in the pollen grain that comprise the male gametophyte in the flowering plants. The male gametophyte in

- 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; microsporesarrow_forwardIn plant life cycles, (a) the first products of meiosis are gametes (b) spores are part of the diploid sporophyte generation (c) the embryo gives rise to a zygote (d) the first stage in the diploid sporophyte generation is the zygote (e) the first stage in the haploid gametophyte generation is the prothallusarrow_forwardFigure 26.8 At what stage dees the diploid zygote form? when the female cone begins to bud from the tree at fertilization when the seeds drop from the tree when the pollen tube begins to growarrow_forward
- Seeds are mature _______ ; fruits are mature_______ . a. ovaries; ovules c. ovules; ovaries b. ovules; stamens d. stamens; ovariesarrow_forwardWhich of the following is correct regarding female gametophyte development in Angiosperms? The female gametophyte develops in the anther The female gametophyte develops in an ovule within an ovary A female gametophyte develops from all four megaspores produced via meiosis All cells of the female gametophyte are haploidarrow_forwardState the structures/features observed in early and late stages of eudicot seed development.arrow_forward
- Why is fertilization in flowering plants called double fertilization? two cells in the ovule are fertilized, the egg and the endosperm mother cell it takes the efforts of two flowers (male and female) to produce seeds two ovules must be fertilized to form a single seed one pollen grain fertilizes two ovules it takes two pollen grains to fertilize a single ovulearrow_forwardThe three illustrations represent the three types of relationships between the haploid gametophyte and diploid sporophyte generations found among plants. Identify the types of plants and the characteristics that belong with each of the three types of relationships. Bryophyte Ferns Seed plants ferns and horsetails mosses, liverworts, and other bryophytes Ginko biloba, spruce trees, and other gymnosperms The gametophyte requires nourishment from the sporophyte in order to survive. The sporophyte and gametophyte generations grow independently and produce differently shaped plants. The sporophyte cannot survive without nourishment from the gametophyte. Answer Bank Incorrectarrow_forwardDraw a of alternation of generation of Mnium, a Genus of Mosses. Label all structures. Include both haploid and diploid structures. Draw the structures before fertilization and after fertilization. Indicate when fertilization occurs and how. Be sure to show the cycle from one generation to the next.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the gametophyte stage of the flowering plant? -The gametophyte is diploid -Male and female gametophytes are separate from one another -The gametophyte is haploid -The gametophyte is dependent on the sporophyte for a specific amount of time -The gametophyte is a gamete producing structurearrow_forwardLabel the stages in the formation of male and female gametes by the gametophytes of angiosperms (flowering plants). Anther Pollen grain (male gametophyte) Microspores (4) Ovary Each of 4 microspores Embryo sac (female gametophyte) Megaspore Megasporocyte Microsporocyte Reset Zoom B CMcGraw-Hill Educationarrow_forwardPine pollen grains have air bladders (wings) whereas flowering plant pollen grains do not. The reason for this is; Flowering plant pollen grains are not multicellular like pine pollen grains Pines are wind pollinated The wings on pine pollen grains are needed to form the pollen tube The wings on pine pollen grains are needed to form the sperm nucleusarrow_forward
