Question

Where do pollen grains and ovules develop in angiosperms?

Answer 1

The location of pollen grains and ovules in angiosperms:

1. Pollen is produced by the anthers of the stamens in flowers in angiosperms.
2. It is generated in the microsporophylls of the microstrobili of gymnosperms (male pollen cones).
3. One or more vegetative cells and a reproductive cell make up pollen.
4. Ovules are found on the scales of female cones in gymnosperms, such as conifers, while they are situated inside the ovary within the carpel in angiosperms, such as flowering plants.
5. Angiosperms are additionally distinguished from other seed plants by the fact that their ovules (and seeds) are contained within a carpel.
