प्रश्न
Explain the post-pollination events leading to seed production in angiosperms.
उत्तर
Pollination is the process of transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma.
-
When the pollen grains fall on the stigma, the pollen tube enters one of the synergids and releases two male gametes.
-
One of the male gametes moves towards the egg cell and fuses with it to form zygote.
-
The other male gamete fuses with the two polar nuclei and forms the primary endosperm nucleus. This is termed as triple fusion.
-
After the triple fusion, the central cell becomes the primary endosperm cell (PEC).
-
The primary endosperm nucleus gives rise to endosperm, while the zygote develops into embryo.
- Seeds are the fertilised ovules that are developed inside a fruit.
- The integuments of ovules harden to form the seed coat, and the micropyle facilitates the entry of oxygen and water into the seed.
