What is the function of a pollen tube?

Biology
2 answers:
Firlakuza [10]2 years ago

Answer:

The function of the pollen tube is to lead sperm cells into the ovary.

Explanation:

In angiosperms, the pollen tube is a structure formed when the pollen grain comes into contact with the stigma and germinates, producing a tubal extension that is related to the embryonic sac where the female gametophyte is found.

The function of the pollen tube is to conduct the male gametophyte —which is found in the pollen— to the embryonic sac, in order to come into contact with the oosphere and produce fertilization.

The other options are not correct because the pollen tube:

  • <em>Do </em><u><em>not create more pollen</em></u><em>. </em>
  • <em>Do </em><u><em>not create more male spermatophytes</em></u><em>. </em>
  • <u><em>Does not lead the eggs to the male spermatophytes</em></u><em>.</em>

Answer: to lead sperm cells into the ovary .

Explanation: There needs to be a way for the sperm cells formed by the pollen's generative nucleus to reach the egg cells that are found in the ovary.

Answer:

A. The complementary shapes of an enzyme and a substrate

Explanation:

The Lock-and-Key model was made to show how an enzyme's active zone fits a substrate and how they bond together. It correlates just like a lock and a key; you have to have the correct-shaped key in order to open a lock. Same process of thought with the enzymes; you must have the same shape for both in order to bind together,

Early ideas on the classification of life recognized all organisms as belonging to one of two fundamental lineages−prokaryotes o
Maksim231197 [3]
I think this view is NOT compatible with either of these hypothesis illustrated above. This is because each hypothesis presents prokaryotes as two separate groups. Prokaryotes are unicellular organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane bound organelle unlike the eukaryotes which has the membrane bound nucleus and other organelles.

A strain of a cereal grain can be either dark tan, medium-dark tan, medium tan, light tan, or cream colored. When a dark tan and
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 2 genes.

Explanation:

The number of genes involved in the coloration of the strain of cereal grain, could be either dark tan, medium-dark tan, medium tan, light tan, or cream-colored if all F1 are medium tan when crossed a dark tan crossed with cream-colored, can be calculated as follow:

suppose there are only two gene - TT dominant over tt and CC dominant over cc

then the cross would be - RRCC - rrcc

gametes - RC and rc

Cross F1: RrCc

Self cross in F2:

offspring by Punnet cross are:

RRCC  -->1/16  

RRCc,  RrCC .---> 4/16

RrCc, RRcc, rrCC--->6/16

rrCc, Rrcc--->4/16

rrcc ----> 1/16

thus, the correct answer is 2 genes

ANTONII [103]
I don't know much about it but i think it is when  <span>When you crosses 2 plants of the same pure lines parentage, the resulting F1 is termed as true-breeding plants.
</span>True-breeding plants can also be produced by <span> selfing </span> (or self crossing) flowers form a pure line plant. When seeds from this fertilization are planted, they will give rise to homologous-homogeneous population.
