What to Focus On

  • Androecium is the male reproductive whorl.
  • Gynoecium is the female reproductive whorl.
  • Flowers are the sites of sexual reproduction in angiosperms.

  • Stamen consists of filament and anther.
  • Anther is bilobed, dithecous, and tetragonal.
  • Microsporangium has four wall layers: epidermis, endothecium, middle layers, tapetum.

  • Pollen viability depends on temperature and humidity.
  • Rice and wheat pollen lose viability within 30 minutes.
  • Rosaceae, Leguminosae, and Solanaceae pollen may remain viable for months.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Double fertilisation means only one fusion event happens in the embryo sac.

The zygote starts dividing immediately after fertilisation, before endosperm formation.

Autogamy, geitonogamy, and xenogamy are just three names for self-pollination.
