Pollination and fertilization
Name the following:
1. The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same flower 2. The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of another flower on the same plant. 3. The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a flower of another plant of the same species. 4. A type of flower that contains the male parts and the female parts. 5. The condition when the anther and the stigma mature at the same time. 6. Flowers that do not open at all. 7. The type of pollination where parental characters are preserved. 8. The type of pollination where there is great economy for the plant. 9. One disadvantage of autogamy. 10.The type of pollination where off-springs are healthier, and seeds are viable. 11.The type of pollination where new varieties are formed. 12.A type of flower that has either male or female parts. 13.Example of a n unisexual flower that is also monoecious 14.Example of unisexual flower that is dioecious. 15.Technical term for maturation of androecium and gynoecium at different time 16.Technical term for maturation of androecium first and an example 17.Technical term for maturation of gynoecium first .and an example 18.Technical term for failure of pollen to germinate on the same stigma and an example 19.Technical term for a mechanical barrier between anther and stigma and an example 20.Technical term for the stigma and stamen to have different height. 21.The nature of an entomophilous flower. 22.The kind of colouration of an entomophilous flower. 23.The nature of pollen grain in an entomophilous flower 24.The nature of the stigma of an entomophilous flower. 25.The reward that such flowers offers the pollinator. 26.The nature of an anemophilous flower. 27.The type of colouration of such flowers 28.The nature of the stamen of wind pollinated flowers. 29.The type of attachment of the anther to the filament in anemophilous flowers. 30.The amount of pollen produced in wind pollinated flowers. 31.The nature of the pollen grain in anemophilous flowers 32.The nature of the stigma in anemophilous flowers. 33.The amount of pollen produced in hydrophilous flowers 34.The special adaptation of pollen in hydrophilous lowers 35.The mechanism of pollination in Vallisneria. 36.The outer protective covering of the pollen grain. 37.The inner wall of the pollen grain. 38.The openings in the exine through which the pollen tube forms. 39.The two nuclei inside the pollen grain. 40.The two protective coverings of the ovule 41.The small opening in the ovule through which pollen tube enters. 42.The nutritive tissue that the integuments enclose 43.The structure in the nucellus in which the egg is located. 44.The 3 cells in the embryosac at the chalazal end of the ovule 45.The two nuclei in the centre of the embryo sac. 46.The three cells at the micropylar end of the ovule. 47.The role of the tube nucleus in the pollen tube. 48.The substance used to dissolve the tissues of the style for the growth of the pollen tube. 49.The part through which the pollen tube enters the embryosac. 50.The product of fusion of one male gamete with the egg cell. 51.The product of fusion of the other male gamete with the polar nuclei. 52.The reason why the process is called triple fusion 53.The reason why the process is called double fertilization. 54.The fate of the ovary after fertilization 55.The fate of the ovule after fertilization 56.The fate of the placenta after fertilization 57.The fate of the outer integument after fertilization 58.The fate of the inner integument after fertilization 59.The fate of the secondary nucleus/polar nuclei, after fertilization 60.The fate of the egg cell and synergids after fertilization.
