Pollen grains are structures that house the male gametophyte generation of angiosperms and gymnosperms (seed plants). They are also the vehicles in which the male gamete genetic code is carried to the female gamete. Pollen grains develop in the anther in angiosperms. It travels and is deposited on the stigma of a receptive flower. In gymnosperms, pollen develops in the male cone, travels, and fertilizes the ovules in the female cones to produce seeds. Each pollen grain consists of the two celled male haploid plant enclosed in a thickened wall.
What is the function of pollen?
It's how some plants reproduce. Unless it's how all plants reproduce.
Reply:The pollen is an important part of a flower. it carries the male sex chromosomes for assexual reproduction of plants. this is important for the propagation of plants species.
Reply:Pollen is a fine to coarse powder consisting of microgametophytes (pollen grains), which carry the male gametes of seed plants. Each pollen grain contains one or two generative cells (the male gametes) and a vegetative cell. The group of three cells is surrounded by a cellulose cell wall and a thick, tough outer wall made of sporopollenin.Pollen is produced in the microsporangium (contained in the anther of an angiosperm flower or male cone of a coniferous plant).
Reply:Pollen is the plants sperm, I guess
