Microsporangia seed plant reproduction

prodcues numerous microspores mother cell, which divide by meiosis to produce 4 haploid cells (microspores-males) -> mature into pollen grains (represent gametophyte generation) which divides into three cells (in flowering plants) or 4 cells (in conifers)




One is vegetative cell that controls growth of pollen tube, others=sperms

Megasporangium seed plant reproduction

celled nucellus produces megaspore mother cell -> meiosis -> 4 haploids cells, one survies to become megaspore (female gametophye generation).




Megaspores -> mitosis -> one egg (in flowering plants) or two eggs (in confers)

ovule protected inside ovary which develop into fruit => dispersal of seeds by wind or other animals

Process of fertilization

1. pollen lands on sticky stigma (female). pollen tube that contains vegetative nucleus grows down the style towards ovule; two sperm cells inside ovule




2. ovule within ovary (contains megaspore mother cells surrounding nucellus +integuments). Megaspore mother cell => (meiosis) 4 haploid megaspores - one survived - mitosis 3x - 8 nuclei -> 6 nuclei undergoes cytokinesis and form plasma membranes (embryo sac). at the mircopyle of embryo sac are 3 cells ( egg + 2 synergids). at other end micropyle are 3 antipodals cells. in middle are polar nuclei (2 haploid cells)




3. pollen tube (2 sperm cells) enters embryo sac through micropyle; 1 sperm cell fertilizes egg (form diploid zygote); nucleus of 2nd sperm fuses with both polar nuclei -> triploid (3N) nucleus -> mitosis -> endosperm (provide nutrient). double fertilization is fertilization of egg and polar nuclei each by a separate sperm
