Questions and Answers

What is the direct result of pollen falling on the stigma of a plant?

  • The formation of the embryo sac begins.
  • A haploid zygote can form.
  • A diploid zygote can form. (correct)
  • An egg cell is immediately formed.
  • Which of these agents directly contributes to self-fertilization?

  • Insects
  • Wind (correct)
  • Water
  • Birds
  • What is the difference between direct and indirect pollination?

  • Direct pollination is more efficient than indirect pollination.
  • Indirect pollination allows for increased diversity in offspring compared to direct pollination.
  • Direct pollination results in genetically similar offspring, while indirect pollination creates genetic diversity.
  • Direct pollination is more likely to result in self-fertilization, while indirect pollination is less likely. (correct)

    Study Notes

    Reproduction in Plants

    • Pistils are composed of stigmas, styles, and ovaries containing one or more ovules
    • Meiosis in an ovule produces four haploid cells
    • One haploid cell undergoes three further divisions to form the embryo sac, containing an egg cell (oosphere) and polar nuclei
    • Pollen must be transported to the stigma for fertilization
    • Direct pollination occurs when pollen from a flower lands on the stigma of the same flower
    • Indirect pollination occurs between different plants
    • Agents of direct pollination include wind, gravity, and self-pollination (in plants)
