- what are the flaws ? Plants reproduce in a pattern known as alternation of generations. A haploid gametophyte produces gametes through mitosis. The gametes fuse to form a zygote, which then grows into a diploid sporophyte. The sporophyte produces spores through meiosis, which then grow into a gametophyte and start the process over. Flowers are how angiosperms reproduce. A whorl of sepals (corolla) is at the base of the flower, followed by a whorl of petals (calyx). Inside the flower is a female organ known as a carpel and it is made of a stigma, style, and ovary. The male organ is the stamen and it is made of an anther and filament. Pollen being transferred to the style is known as pollination. Once the pollen travels down the style and reaches the egg, fertilization happens when sperm meets egg. Then, the fertilized egg and surrounding tissue develops into a seed. A seed is protected by a seed coat and contains endosperm and an embryo. The endosperm grows into a new plant while…arrow_forwardIn a typical angiosperm, what is the sequence of structures encountered by the tip of a growing pollen tube on its way to the egg? ovary → style → stigma stigma → style → ovary ovary→ stigma→ style stigma→ ovary → stylearrow_forwardConsidering the trends in floral evolution, how do you think these changes contribute in ensuring successful sexual reproduction among angiosperms?
