Study Notes
Plant Reproduction
- During microsporogenesis, microsporocytes undergo cell division to form four haploid daughter cells, resulting in the development of the sperm-bearing gametophyte.
- Megasporogenesis occurs in the ovule of the flower, where a single megaspore mother cell undergoes meiosis to form four haploid megaspores.
- Synergids in the mature embryo sac function to guide the pollen tube towards the egg cell during fertilization.
- Double fertilization in plants results in the formation of a triploid endosperm and a diploid zygote.
Cell Division
- Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of four haploid daughter cells.
- Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of two diploid daughter cells identical to the parent cell.
Alternation of Generations
- The characteristic life cycle of all plants involves alternation of generations between a diploid sporophyte and a haploid gametophyte.
- Homosporous plants produce only one type of spore, whereas heterosporous plants, such as angiosperms, produce two types of spores: microspores and megaspores.
Gametophytes
- The male gametophyte in angiosperms is called pollen.
- Microsporogenesis occurs in the anther of the flower and is the development of the sperm-bearing gametophyte (pollen).
- Megasporogenesis occurs in the ovule of the flower and is the development of the egg-bearing gametophyte.
Seed Formation
- The seed coat in a mature seed comes from the integuments of the ovule.
- The micropyle is the opening in the integuments of the ovule.
