fertilisation process

On reaching the stigma, the pollen grains put out a tube. This is called germination of the pollen grain. Fertilisation in a Flowering Plant The tip of the tube contains the male nuclei. The tube grows and enters the ovule where it bursts at the tip releasing the male gametes. One of..

Fertilisation can be defined as the fusion of the sperm nucleus with the egg nucleus to form a diploid cell known as zygote. The fertilisation is internal in the human reproductive system. It is achieved by the insertion of the male organ, penis into the vagina of the female. Th..

Longitudinal section of a flower showing germination of pollen grains and the phenomenon of fertilization. One pollen tube has grown through the style and has entered the embryo sac through the micropyle The pollen tube enters into the ovule, through the micropyle. Inside the embryo sac, the tip of..

As a result of fertilisation, the following changes are observed in a flower: 1. A diploid zygote is formed and develops into an embryo which is the future plant. 2. The triploid endosperm tissue serves as a source of nutrition for the developing embryo. 3. The ovule becomes seed. 4. Th..

In angiosperms, the fruits are usually formed after the process of fertilisation. In certain plants, however, the fruits are formed without the act of fertilisation. Such fruits are called parthenocarpic fruits and the phenomenon is known as parthenocarp..

The sperm generally comes in contact with the ovum at the animal pole. A number of sperms surround the ovum, but only one of them fuses with the egg. Fertilisation of the egg with only one sperm is known as monospermy. Fertilisation occurs in the ampulla of the oviduc..

Reproduction occurs by vegetative propagation, asexual and sexual reproduction. Vegetative propagation through artificial method can be done by cuttings, layering and grafting. Pollination refers to the transference of pollen grains from the anther of a flower to the stigma of the flower. It occurs..
