comparative account of male gametophyte of cycas and Gnetum
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
heyy there!
Male Gametophyte of Cycas:
1. Microspores, which develop into male gametophytes, are un-winged in Cycas.
2.Pollination takes place at 3-celled stage in cycas, i.e. a prothallial cell, a generative cell and a tube cell.
3. Two motile male gametes, with several spiral bands of cilia, develop from generative cells in cycas.
4. Entire developmental process of male gametophyte in cycas completes within a few months.
Male Gametophyte of Pinus:
1. in pinus microspores are winged.
2.Pollination takes place at 4-celled stage in pinus, i.e. two prothallial cells, a generative cell and a tube cell.
3. there are two non-motile male gametes in pinus, without any cilia, develop from generative cell.
4. About one full year is required to complete the entire process of male gametophyte development in pinus.

Male Gametophyte Cycas and Gnetum
Explanation:
Male Gametophyte of Cycas
- Microspores, which form into male gametophytes, are un-winged in Cycas
- Only one prothallial cell is available in cycas. Pollination takes place at 3-celled arrange in cycas, for example a prothallial cell, a generative cell and a tube cell
Male Gametophyte of Gnetum
- They are uninucleate and stay encompassed by a thick and spiny exine and thin intine
- Develop pollen grains are shed at three-nucleate stage
- These incorporate prothallial core, tube core and generative core ( Upper) in Gnetum Africanism
