Where is the Male Gamete Found in Plants? Lesson Summary Frequently Asked Questions What are the male gametes produced in a flowering plant? Angiosperms are flowering plants, the anther is the part of the plant that contains the pollen. The pollen grains contain sperm, which the male gametophy...

In some species the generative cell divides into two nonmotile male gametes prior to the dehiscence of anther and release of the pollen grains. Therefore, at the time of pollination, the pollen grain is either 2-celled (tube cell + generative cell; found in over 60% of flowering plants, m...
3. Formation of Male Gametes: The generative cell undergoes another mitotic division, resulting in the formation of two male gametes. Thus, at this stage, the pollen grain consists of: - One vegetative cell - Two male gametes 4. Cellular Stages of Pollen Grain: - The pollen grain can be...
HongMa,VenkatesanSundaresan, inCurrent Topics in Developmental Biology, 2010 Abstract Plant reproduction occurs through the production of gametes by a haploid generation, the gametophyte.Flowering plantshave highly reduced male andfemale gametophytes, called pollen grains andembryo sacs, respectively, consis...

The reproductive...
- Male and female gametophytes are the structures that produce male and female gametes, respectively. In some plant groups, these gametophytes can exist independently of the sporophyte (the diploid generation). 2. Identify the Plant Groups: - Bryophytes (like mosses) and pteridophytes (like fer...
Here the 1 1 ratio between male and female gametes obtains only at the level of the population and individuals or gentoypes in the breeding entity can function more largely as male than as female parents, or vice versa, at each other's expense. In partially self-fertilising plants this ...
