Explain the process of sexual reproduction in angiosperms.

Process of sexual reproduction in angiosperms: There are two processes which are involved during sexual reproduction i. e. Pollination and fertilization. In pollination, the pollen of stamen falls on the stigma of carpel where they make a tube towards ovary where ovule is present. When the pollen reaches the ovary and fuses with ovule, it produces zygote which turns into seed, this process is called fertilization.

The process of sexual reproduction in angiosperms (flowering plants) involves the following.

The production of male and female gametes

The transfer of the male gametes to the female ovules (pollination)

After pollination occurs, fertilization happens and the ovules grow into seeds encased within a fruit.

Explanation:

In angiosperms, meiosis in the sporophyte generation produces two kinds of spores.

microspores develop in the microsporangium and will germinate and develop into the male gametophyte generation.

megaspores develop in the megasporangium and will develop into the female gametophyte generation.

Pollination then occurs when pollen grain reaches the stigma and it germinates into a pollen tube.

After fertilization, each ovule develops into seeds.
