Explain the process that occurs when a flowering plant reproduces.
@space4cadet101
well.............Simply put: Haploid gametes are produced through meiosis; male cells are produced which are encapsulated in a pollen grain, female cells form ovules held within an ovary. Through the process of pollination, male pollen grains are transferred to the stigma of a receptive flower. The pollen grain germinates and a pollen tube grows down the style and into the ovary, where it releases the male gamete - this then fuses with the ovule forming a diploid zygote (which after further mitosis develops into an embryo). The embryo is encapsulated within a testa and forms a seed as the ovary ripens (to form the fruit). Seed are released and germinate. The process differs slightly between angiosperms and gymnosperms although the basics remain the same.
thank you soo much!!!
