  • Ovary
    • S T Y L E
      • stigma
        • FERTILISATION
          • The process where the male gamete fuses with the female gamete to produce a zygote/
          • compatible pollen grain lands on stigma, which produces a sugary solution for the grain to germinate, creating a pollen tube.
            • pollen tube grows down the style, with the tube nucleus leading. It produces digestive enzymes to do this.
              • the pollen tube lead, with two male nucleus behind, made by mitosis of the generative nucleus.
                • pollen tube grows through micropyle between the integuments, and into the embryo sac.
                  • the tube nucelus disintegrates and the pollen tube bursts, releasing two male nuclei.
                    • 1 male nucleus fuses with female nucleus to make a zygote. the next fuses with polar nuclei to make triploid endosperm.
                      • SPECIAL FLOWER DOUBLE FERTILISATION.
    • PETAL
      • brightly coloured and scented to attract insects for pollination
        • pollination- the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a plant of the same species.
          • self
            • pollen grains transferred from the anther to the stigma of the same flower/flower of the same plant,
            • results in inbreeding and reduction in variation
              • undesirable recessives come together
              • depends on crossing over and random assortment for variation
            • preserves good genomes
          • cross
            • the pollen is transferred to a stigma of a different flower on a different plant of the same species.
          • insect
            • depends on insects
              • they feed on nectar at the nectary (base of flower)
                • brush against anthers and pollen sticks
                  • pollen reaches stigma of the next plant the insect feeds from
            • brightly coloured and scented
              • nectar
                • anthers and stigma in flower
                  • small amounts of sticky pollen
          • wind
            • anthers hang outside the flower so wind can blow away small, light pollen
              • feathery stigmas hang outside the flowers and provide large surface area.
            • small green and inconspicous
              • no petals
                • no scent or nectar
    • PETAL
    • anther
      • produces haploid pollen grains
        • pollen grains have a hard resistant coat to avoid dessication
        • via meosis
        • haploid nucleus undergoes mitosis
          • to create a generative and tube nucleus
      • made up of four pollen sacs which later  dry out and split to release pollen
        • this is called dehiscence
    • anther
    • sepal
      • protects the flower when a bud
    • sepal
    • anther
    • anther
    • Ovules are made here
      • the mother cell undergoes meiosis to make a haploid embryo sac with 8 nuclei formed later by mitosis
    • DEVELOPMENT of FRUIT AND SEED
      • Integuments become seed coat, or testa.
      • ovary become fruit
      • ovule becomes seed
      • triploid endosperm becomes food source for germinating seed
      • zygote divided by mitosis to become the embryo with a plumule(shoot) and radicle (root) and two seed leaves/cotyledons.

  • filament
    • has vascular tissues to transport nutrients, and also supports the anther
  • female part= CARPEL
  • male part = STAMEN
    • anther
      • produces haploid pollen grains

    • filament
      • has vascular tissues to transport nutrients, and also supports the anther
  • anthers and stigma are outside and large and feathery
    • large quantities of small, light smooth pollen
    • no scent or nectar
  • POLLINATION

Hi, thank you for the program is very interesting and it is quite convenient, and you know it will help you choose the flowers that your girl likes to calm the anxiety, if I have questions about what flowers to give, or if you please your loved one for free. there is a good site for flower delivery, which does not need to go to the flower shop, there is a large selection of flowers check here
