FLOWERS AND ANGIOSPERM REPRODUCTION
![Page 2: FLOWERS AND ANGIOSPERM REPRODUCTION · PDF fileThe parts of the flower (exploded) The embryo sac is in the ovary Pollen is formed in the anthers](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030502/5aae771a7f8b9a3a038c35a2/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Most of the plant--roots, leaves, flowers--is diploid
The pollen and embryo saccells are haploid

Flowering plants arose recently, diversified rapidly
Million years ago

Angiosperms—flowering plants
First fossil angiosperms are 140 million years old
Diversified quickly: 250,000 species named (maybe
2,500,000 extant), compared to 550 species of
conifers, 10,000 species of ferns
Evolved first in dry, hilly areas (Mediterranean
climates?); now present everywhere with the
most diversity in tropics
Why the success?
Continued to refine vegetative adaptations to dry
land and cold: e.g., developed vessels vs
tracheids; sieve tubes (with larger diameter,
larger pores, companion cells, and no big
organelles) vs sieve cells
Invented flower and fruit: better protection of
megasporocytes, megaspores and
megagametophytes (embryo sac); better
distribution of microgametophytes (pollen); better
distribution of seeds
Double fertilization and endosperm: better nutrition
of developing embryo

Summary
•Reproduction in flowering plants involves male and female gametes(formed from microsporophytes and megasporophytes,the haploid plants resulting from meiosis)
•Formation of gametes, fertilization, and embryo growth take place inflowers
•Flower structures promote fertilization
•Seed structures promote dissemination of embryos
