Question

1. The parts of the flower involved in reproduction are ________ and __________

2. The anthers bear the ___________the microspore mother cells give rise to _______or pollen grains after meiotic cell division.

Answer 1

1. Stamen and pistil

2. Pollen, microspore

Step-by-step explanation:

The flower is the reproductive part of certain plants called ANGIOSPERMS. They make use of their flower for sexual reproduction. The different parts of the flower work together to achieve a common goal, which is to reproduce, however, they do it in various ways. For example, accessory parts like petals attract pollinators. The major parts of the flower that are directly involved in the reproductive act are STAMEN (male) and PISTIL (female).

The stamen which constitutes a structure called ANTHER bears the pollen grains or microspore, which is made when the microspore mother cells undergo meiotic division. Hence, the pollens are released from the anther of a male flower (stamen), into the stigma of the female flower (pistil).
