Pollen is composed of pollen grades which are microgametophytes of seed plants. This is one of two alternating phases in the life cycle of plants and algae. From these, the male gametes, also known as sperm cells will develop. As all gametes are haploid, the pollen grain will thus contain half of the genetic material found in a regular plant cell.
Ionic bonding When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms, forming ions . The resulting compound is called an ionic compound .
