Study Notes
- Flowers in angiosperms house the gametophyte generation in modified stems with modified leaves.
- The four whorls of a flower are Calyx (outermost with sepals), Corolla (second with petals), Androecium (third with male reproductive structures), and Gynoecium (innermost with female reproductive structures).
- The female part of a flower includes the Carpel, with the ovary containing the ovule, which becomes the fruit and seed. It also includes the Stigma where pollen lands and the Style leading to the ovary.
- The male part of a flower is the Stamen, with the Anther containing pollen grains and the Filament supporting it.
- Perfect flowers have both male and female parts, while imperfect flowers can be Staminate (only male) or Carpellate (only female).
- Male gametes in angiosperms are produced through Microsporogenesis and Microgametogenesis in the anther, leading to the development of sperm cells and pollen tubes.
- Female gametes in angiosperms are produced through Megasporogenesis and Megagametogenesis in the ovule, resulting in the formation of the embryo sac containing egg cells, synergids, and polar nuclei.
- Plant fertilization involves the mechanical transfer of pollen from anther to stigma, followed by pollen tube growth, sperm cell division, and eventual pollination leading to seed development.
