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

te develop into a seed, which eventually germinates and grows into a mature sporophyte? In this activity, you will demonstrate your understanding of double fertilization and seed development in angiosperms. Drag the statements to their appropriate locations on the flowchart of pollination, fertilization, and seed development.

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.

The piracy of music and movies is often evident on file-sharing services that use the _________ protocol./11252180/4869941c?utm_
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

BitTorrent protocol

Explanation:

BitTorrent is a system that allows the sharing of almost any file over the internet, being mainly used for the distribution of videos, music and software. It is quite popular because it is an easy tool to use and at the same time very efficient.

BitTorrent itself is actually a data sharing protocol and not a centralized system. There is no server providing the data, but a standard of communication between multiple computers that allows files to be located, distributed and retrieved by all. This protocol is very much used for pirate sharing of music and movies.
