Two purpose of reproduction:
- To perpetuate identical child plants by asexual reproduction.
- To perpetuate varied child plants by sexual reproduction.
HORMONES:
- CYTOKININ
- INDOLACETIC ACID (IAA)/AUXIN
- GIBERRELIC ACID
- ABSCISSIC ACID
- ETHYLENE
Cell Division and Differentiation

Plant go through the cycle known as :
HETEROMORPHIC DIPHASIC /DIPLOBIONTIC ALTERNATION OF
GENERATIONS
The plant has two phases/ generations/alterants
DIPHASIC
Gametophyte (n) and Sporophyte (2n)
DIPHASIC
The two alterants are different in apperance
HETEROMORPHIC
process where a haploid egg cell and haploid sperm cell of a species
unite to form a _____
diploid zygote
process where a haploid egg cell and haploid sperm cell of a species
unite to form a diploid zygote
FERTILIZATION OR SYNGAMY
in the anther undergo
meiotic division.
Microspore mother cells or microsporocytes
A microspore is produced , nursed by ____
tapetum
The microspore undergoes mitotic division and produces two ____
sperm nuclei and a pollen tube nucleus.
The pollen tube nucleus will constitute the vegetative cell and the
sperm nuclei will constitute the ____
generative cell
The pollen nucleus will elongate when the pollen reaches the stigma,
allowing the sperm cells to enter the ovule
MICROGAMETOPHYTE FORMATION
in the ovule undergo meiotic division
Megaspores mother cells or megasporocytes
Four nuclei are produced but one remains to grow into megaspores
nursed by the ____
nucellus or parenchyma cells in the ovule
The megaspores will undergo three mitotic divisions to produce ___
eight nuclei
The eight nuclei become seven cells and will become the ff:
1 Egg cell
2 Synergids
1 Binucleate Polar Cell and
3 Antipodal cells
The egg with two synergids is called
the egg apparatus
Intricate cell wall
MICROGAMETOPHYTE
