1. What are male and female gametes in a flowering plant? what part is played by them in reproduction?
Answers
Explanation:
Plants cannot reproduce like human beings, but they still produce two separate sex cells, a female (egg) and a male (sperm). These sex cells are called gametes and are produced through the process of meiosis. ... In angiosperms, or flowering plants, the male gametes form in the anther, encased in a pollen grain.
Plant reproduction is the production of new offspring in plants, which can be accomplished by sexual or asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction produces offspring by the fusion of gametes, resulting in offspring genetically different from the parent or parents. Asexual reproduction produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes, genetically identical to the parent plants and each other, except when mutations occur. In seed plants, the offspring can be packaged in a protective seed, which is used as an agent of dispersal.
Answer:
here's your answer!
Explanation:
A gamete is a haploid cell that fuses with another haploid cell during fertilization in organisms that sexually reproduce. In species that produce two morphologically distinct types of gametes, and in which each individual produces only one type, a female is any individual that produces the larger type of gamete—called an ovum— and a male produces the smaller tadpole-like type—called a sperm. In short a gamete is an egg cell (female gamete) or a sperm (male gamete).
