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.

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?
melamori03 [73]
Mitosis produces an exact copy of the original containing the same 46 chromosomes as the original cell

Meiosis produces 4 individual sex cells ( gametes) with only 23 chromosomes in each. This is so when a sperm cell and and egg cell meet the combine to make 46 total chromosomes with genes from each parent

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Because the child was vaccinated against this disease, the germs are not able to travel from one person to the other, and the family in this case, is less likely to get the disease. Even his siblings, that didn't get the vaccine, will get some protection from getting sick. This is known as community immunity.

What is the relationship between the rate of wind and the amount of abrasion?
Andreyy89

Answer: Wind speed is also important. The rate of erosion caused by a 30-mile-per-hour wind is more than three times that of a 20-mile-per-hour wind. Wind erosion decreases as soil moisture increases. For example, dry soil erodes about one-and-one-third times more than soil with barely enough moisture to keep plants alive.

BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST FOLLOW FIVESTAR AND THANK YOU
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

By researching, I would think that the answer is D. Ice crystals melt as they fall through a warm layer of air and then refreeze into small ice pellets as they pass through a colder layer of air.

Explanation:

<em>During precipitation formation, if temperatures are at or below freezing, 0°C (32°F), at cloud level, water in the air freezes into ice crystals, and the crystals stick together to make snow. The snow starts to fall, and if the air column is freezing cold all the way down from the clouds to the ground, the precipitation stays frozen. It simply falls as snow.</em>

<em />

<em>Sometimes, however, a temperature inversion occurs. Normally, the temperature decreases with increasing altitude. A temperature inversion is when a layer of warm air intrudes between the ground and the clouds.</em>

<em />

<em>Under these conditions, when the falling snow reaches the layer of warm air, it melts. Then it hits the layer of cold air just above Earth’s surface and refreezes. This all happens very fast, and the result is tiny ice pellets called sleet.</em>

What is true of all eukaryotes
Eddi Din [679]
Eukaryotic cells are larger than prokaryotic cells and have a “true” nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and rod-shaped chromosomes. The nucleus houses the cell's DNA and directs the synthesis of proteins and ribosomes
