Sexual reproduction1. haploid gametogenesis in flowers: reproductive organs•Female part = pistil (gynoecium)•Stigma•Style•Ovary •Ovules
•Male part : anthers•Make pollen

Sexual reproduction1. making haploid gametes in flowers• Pollen = male, contains 2-3 cells• Made in anthers• Microspores divide to form vegetative cell and germ cell• Germ cell divides to form 2 sperm cells, but often not
until it germinates• Pollen grains dehydrate and are coated
• Are released, reach stigma, then germinate

Sexual reproductionMegaspore mother cell → meiosis → 4 haploid megaspores• 3 die• Functional megaspore divides 3 x w/o cytokinesis• Cellularization forms egg, binucleate central cell, 2
synergids & 3 antipodals

Sexual reproductionPollen lands on stigma & germinates if good signals• Forms pollen tube that grows
through style to ovule• Germ cell divides to form sperm
nucleiPollen tube reaches micropyle& releases sperm nuclei into ovule
