The correct answer is option (A) Prokaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.

Cells are classified into prokaryotes and eukaryotes based on the presence of nucleus and membrane- bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells are the primitive cells that lack a well defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. The genetic material is in the central region of the cell called the nucleoid. They include the bacteria and the archaea. Eukaryotic cells are the cells which have a true nucleus or a well defined nucleus and all the membrane bound organelles. They include the protists, fungi, plants and animals.

Prokaryotic cells also possess a cell wall, viruses are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes and bacteria are prokaryotic. Hence the basic difference between the prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells is that the prokaryotic cell do not have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

You have learned that the fusion of egg and sperm produces a zygote. But how does the sperm reach the egg, and how does the zygo
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Pollen grain lands on stigma

Explanation:

A) Pollen grain lands on stigma

  • pollen tube grows down the style
  • generative cell divides, forming two sperm
  • two sperm are discharged to them female gametophyte
  • sperm fuse with the egg and two polar nuclei
  • zygote forms and divides into a terminal cell and a basal cell
  • cells of embryo differentiate into three tissue types---- seed dries out and becomes dormant.

B)

  1. During pollination, a pollen grain is transferred from an anther to a stigma. Once the pollen grain lands on a suitable stigma, it germinates and forms a pollen tube, a structure that grows down through the style to the ovary.
  2. Once in the pollen tube, the generative cell from the pollen grain divides by mitosis, forming two sperm. The sperm travel down the pollen tube and are discharged into the female gametophyte. In a process called double fertilization, one sperm fertilizes the egg, forming the zygote; the other sperm fuses with two polar nuclei in the female gametophyte, forming a triploid (3n) nucleus. The zygote develops into the plant embryo, and the triploid nucleus divides and gives rise to the endosperm. Double fertilization prevents the waste of the plant's resources by ensuring that the nutrient-rich endosperm only develops if the egg is fertilized.
  3. After double fertilization, the ovule starts to develop into a seed containing the plant embryo. As the embryo develops, the three tissue systems are established, and the cotyledons (seed leaves) form. The seeds of many species dry out as they mature. These dry seeds lie dormant until suitable germination conditions occur.
