Question

How to find chromatids in a flower

Answer 1

In a previous reading, sexual reproduction was introduced because it is involved in the production of seeds in the flowering plants. In order to understand sexual reproduction for all plants, including those without flowers, we must look at what happens in plant cells, particularly with the nuclei. Part of this discussion will use plants and animals as examples to get across general principles that apply to both animals and plants.

Each eukaryotic cell contains a nucleus. The nucleus contains most of the cell's genetic material, i.e., the substance that contains the information for the cell to be the kind of cell it is, DNA. DNA is a major component of the substance that fills much of the nucleus, chromatin.
