Questions this course answers

Where is pollen produced?

Anthers are the pollen-producing parts of stamens.

What is pollination?

Pollination is pollen transfer to the receptive female surface.

What happens after compatible pollen germinates?

The tube carries sperm cells through the style to the ovule.

What is double fertilization?

Flowering plants use two sperm fusions to begin embryo and endosperm development.

Why do wind-pollinated plants often make abundant light pollen?

Wind dispersal is inefficient, so many grains improve the odds of interception.
