Angiosperm Reproduction

The process of sexual reproduction in flowering plants is known as angiosperm reproduction. In flowering plants, reproduction begins with pollination, or the transfer of male gametes (pollen) from the male reproductive organ (anther) to the female reproductive organ (pistil), and ends with fertilization of the female gametes (egg), which produces a zygote, which then grows to become a mature plant.

Question

1. It is considered the oldest seed plant to date.
2. These are structures in Elkinsia that protect the ovule.
3. Conifers evolved during this period.
4. A group of gymnosperms that undergo double fertilization like the flowering
plants.
5-7. Mention three adaptive advantages of the seed.
8. Besides the seed, what other structure is a reproductive adaptation in seed
plants?

Rearrange the sequence of conifer life cycle 1. Seed cone allows the entry of wind- borne pollen grains, once enclosed pollen grain will slowly develop pollen tube 2. Small seeds can be carried away by wind and large seeds are dispersed by animals 3. In spring or in a windy day, thousands of pollen grains will disperse. 4. Seeds contains three tissues; embryo, seed coat and gametophyte 5. Conifers produce two types of spores; pollen cone that contains male gametophyte and a seed cone containing enclosing archegonia 6. Flagellated sperm will release to fertilize the egg and eventually develop into a tiny embryo 7. Once germinated, conifer establish first a good rooting system for protection and seeking nourishment.
