Concept explainers

Angiosperm Reproduction

The process of sexual reproduction in flowering plants is known as angiosperm reproduction. In flowering plants, reproduction begins with pollination, or the transfer of male gametes (pollen) from the male reproductive organ (anther) to the female reproductive organ (pistil), and ends with fertilization of the female gametes (egg), which produces a zygote, which then grows to become a mature plant.

Chrysopogon aciculatus is placed under microscope. When crushed, the seed is visible. Apparently, this species of plant is angiosperm. So how do I draw the diagram of the seed(?) for Chrysopogon aciculatus? Do i have to draw just the seed with a fruit coating or do i have to draw the stamen/ovary/stigma etc of Chrysopogon aciculatus' floret?. Attached is a picture of supposedly an angiosperm of Chrysopogon aciculatus , but how do i draw the seed diagram(?)
Most of the approximately 900 species of gymnosperms are conebearing plants. On the surfaces of their cone scales are ovules, which later become seeds. These ovules are said to be naked because they are not completely enclosed by diploid tissue (as the ovules of angiosperms are). This characteristic gives the gymnosperms their name; gymnos is a Greek word meaning naked, and sperma means seed. Botanists now divide the gymnosperms into four groups: conifers, cycads, ginkgos, and gnetophytes.
Angiosperms rely on a number of control pathways that govern when to produce reproductive structures. Briefly describe any one of these pathways, including the processes, structures and/or molecules involved.
