During Fertilization In Flowering Plants
During fertilization in flowering plants, one sperm cell fuses with an egg cell to form a zygote and a second sperm fuses with two polar nuclei to form _____________.

Correct B ) endosperm

he process by which one of the two sperm nuclei fuses with the egg nucleus to produce a diploid zygote and the other fuses with the polar nuclei to produce a triploid endosperm

    Mitosis is easily observed in cells that are growing at a rapid pace such as whitefish blastula or onion root tips, which was used in this lab experiment. The root tips contain and area called the apical meristem that has the highest percentage of cells undergoing mitosis. The whitefish blastula is formed directly after the egg is fertilized. This is a period of rapid growth and numerous cellular divisions where mitosis can be observed. In mitosis the cell is in interphase, and have a distinct nucleus and nucleoli where the thin threads of chromatin thicken into distinct chromosomes and the nuclear evvelope breaks open releasing them into the cytoplasm. The firs signs of the spindle begin to appear, next the cell begins metaphase, where the spindle attaches to the Centromere of each chromosome and moves them to the same level in the middle of the cell. This level position is called the metaphase plate. Anaphase begins when the chromatids are separated and pulled to opposite poles, then the final stage is telophase. The nuclear envelope is reformed and the chromosomes gradually uncoil. Cytokinesis may occur, in which, a cleavage furrow will form and the two daughter cells will separate. Meiosis is more complex and involves two nuclear divisions. The…

    Ovules begin life as a small projection into the cavity of the ovary. Still remaining attached to the ovary wall by a placenta, the ovule bends as it grow and develop. In the beginning, the ovule is a group of similar cells that is called the nucellus. The nucellus contains the embryo sac. As development continues, the mass of cells differentiates to form the inner and outer integument that surrounds and protects the nucellus, but leaves a small opening called the micropyle. This opening is to allow male gametes to pass and interact with the female gamete (haploid egg cell) located in the embryo sac. Each anther contains four pollen sacs. Pollen grains develop inside each pollen sac that begins with a mass of large pollen mother cells in each sac that are all diploid. The wall thickens in each pollen grain and forms an inner layer called the intine and an outer layer called the exine. Surface patterns are different on pollen grains from different species. After pollen grains have matured, the anther dries out and splits open, which releases the pollen. This process is called…

    In a flowering plant, the water travels from the soil, then to the root hairs, next to the xylem, then into the stomata, to the mesophyll cells, next to the stoma, then finally into the atmosphere. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through semipermeable membranes. Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the leaf. Cohesion is when water molecules stick together. Adhesion is when water molecules stick to, not attract. Root pressure is force made by root on water columns. Water potential is the negative pressure in leaves, which is positive in roots.…

    In the male, meiosis precedes sex cell differentiation. A single spermatogonium enters the first meiotic division as a primary spermatocyte. This division produces two secondary spermatocytes, each of which divides to form two haploid spermatids. Each spermatid then differentiates (by a process called spermiogenesis) into a spermatozoon by the elaboration of structural and functional specialisations that enable the sperm to fertilize the egg. Consequently, four haploid sperm result from each diploid spermatogonium. Sperm produced in the testicles are immature and not very motile. As the sperm make their journey through the tightly coiled epididymis, they mature and become motile.…
