  1. 9)Define Nucellus and Chalaza
    A) Nucellus: TThe nucellus the primary function of nucellus is to supply nutrition to the embryo .Nucellus is important in the plants that reproduces sexually .its gives nutrients to the embryo and also protects it from the harsh environment outside .A small gap called Micropyle is also present .
    Chalaza: chalaza is the basal part of the ovule in plants,It is present opposite to the micropylar end of an ovule . nutrients from plants are transported to nucellus through chalaza , the chalazal end of cells in the embryo sac develops into three antipodal cells.

    10) what is polygonum type of embryo sac
    A) It is eight nucleate embryo sac .this was first reported by strasburger in polygonum divaricatum and it is most common type in angiosperms .In four megaspores the three megaspores located at micropylar end degenerates and the megaspore which is located at the chalazal end is functional and develops into embryo sac. this is also calleda as monosporic type of embryo sac.

    11) what is tetrasporic embryosac and mention the example
    A) In this type the embryo sac develos fom all the four megaspore nuclei during the megasporogenesis the megaspore mother cell undergoes meiosis without wall formation Ex: peperomia

    12) what is endospperm and mention the types
    A)In the angiosperms one of the male gamete fuses with the diploid secondary nucleus results in formation of PEN.the pen forms endosperm , A highly nutritive tissue which is triploid(3n) .there are 3 types of Endosperms based on their development they are (A)Nuclear endospeprm
    (B)Cellular endosperm
    (c)Helobial endosperm
    13)what is ruminate endosperm
    A)Endosperm which is irregularly ridged and furrowed is called ruminate endosperm .Ruminate endosperm is reported in about 32 families Eg:Annonaceae,Aristalochiaceae,palmae,rubiaceae,vitaceae. Rumination is caused by the activity of the seed coat of the endosperm .

    14)define embryo and what are the parts of the Dicot embryo
    A) Embryo : A plant embryo is a n undeveloped plalnt inside a seed
    Dicot embryo: seed having dicot means two cotyledons
    Parts of the dicot embryo: Plumle,cotyledons,hypocotyl,radical and root cap.

    15) Histogen theory
    A) histogen theory is developed by Hanstein in 1868,1870. the main body of the plant arises from the histogens .Histogen theory is more suitable to explain root apex . Dermatogen - the precursor of the epidermis
    Periblem - gives rise to the cortex
    Plerome - constitutes the inner mass of the apex

  2. Good Morning madam,This is B.Tarun from NZ-23

    -Submitting my assignment regarding Embryology and Anatomy.


    1)Define embryology. Who is the father of Indian embryology?
    A) Embryology:- It is the branch of biology which deals with the study of prenatal development of gametes, fertilization of the gametes(male and female) and the development of embryo further leading to development of foetus. -Panchanan Maheshwari is the father of Indian embryologist.


    2)Define double fertilization and triple fertilisation?
    A. One male gamete fuses with the female gamete and the other fuses with the secondary nucleus. As two male gametes take part and fertilization and fertilization takes place twice, this process is called double fertilization. Since three gametes are involved it is called triple fusion.

    3)What is megaspore and microspore.
    A. Microspores: Microspore are land plant spores that develop into male gametophytes, whereas Megaspote: megaspores develop into female gametophytes. The male gametophyte gives rise to sperm cells, which are used for fertilization of an egg cell to form a zygote.

    4)What is Tapetum?
    A. Tapetum is the innermost layer of cells found in the anther. It plays a role in providing nutrition for the microspores present in the anther. It is also known to contribute to the synthesis of sporopollenin, which is the material required for pollen grain wall formation.

    5)What is Endothecium? mention it function?
    A. Role of endothecium : Microsporangium generally surrounded by wall layers like epidermis endothecium 2 or 3 middle layers and the tapetum. Endothecium performs the function of protection and helps in dehiscence of another to release the pollen.

    6)What is Megasporangium.Mention the types.
    A. Megasporangium is the structure of a plant body which contains female reproductive organ . It can be called ovule. - Mature megasporangium can be classified under 5 types :
    Orthotropous or atropous
    Anatropous
    Camphylotropous
    Amphitropous
    Hemianatropous

    7)What is embryo sac?
    A. Embryo sac : The female gametophyte of a seed plant consisting of a thin-walled sac within the nucellus that contains the egg nucleus and other nuclei which give rise to endosperm on fertilization.

    8)Define Nucellus and Chalaza?
    A. A. Nucellus is a nutritive tissue which provides nourishment to the developing embryo sac.
    Above to the funicle and below to the embryo sac, we can see the basal portion of embryo called Chalaza.

    9)What is polygonum type of embryosac?
    A. The normal or polygonum type of embryo sac is a monosporic eight nucleate. The embryo sac develops from the chalazal megaspore. Its nucleus divides thrice to form eight nuclei. This type is known as normal or polygonum type (first time described in polygonum divaricatum by Starsburger) of embryo sac.

    10)What is tetrasporic type of embryosac and mention the example? A.Tetrasporic development occurs when neither meiotic division is followed by cytokinesis. As a result, the megaspore tetrad consists of four nuclei in a shared cytoplasm. -it is 9 celled 16 nucleated
    Eg: Peparemia

  3. Good afternoon ma'am,
    This is NB05 submitting my assignment.

    1Define embryology?
    A.Embryology is a branch of biology dealing with embryos and their development.
    Embryology is the study of micro and mega sporogenesis, gametophyte development, fertilization development of endosperm, embryo and seed coats. embryological evidence has been used in solving the taxonomical problems at almost all levels.

    2.Who is the father of indian embryology?
    A.Dr.Panchanan Maheshwari is the Father of Indian Plant Embryology.
    he was an eminent botanist specialising in plant embryology, morphology and anatomy, plant physiology and biochemistry. He was one of the leading plant biologists who established the technique of test-tube fertilization of angiosperms.

    3.Define double fertilization and triple fertilization?
    A.DOUBLE FERTILIZATION:
    Double fertilization is a complex fertilization mechanism of flowering plants . This process involves the joining of a female gametophyte megagametophyte, also called the embryo sac with two male gametes (sperm).
    TRIPLE FERTILIZATION:
    Fusion of male gamete with diploid secondary nucleus/central cell to form triploid primary endosperm nucleus is called as triple fusion as it involves three nuceli. It takes place in embryo sac during double fertilization. Two polar nuclei and male gamete are involved in it.

    4.Define megaspore and microspore?
    A.MEGASPORE:
    Megaspores are the larger of two spores produced by heterosporous plants.
    During female gametophyte development, a single archesporial cell enlarges and differentiates into a megaspore mother cell, which then undergoes meiosis to give rise to four megaspores.
    MICROSPORE:
    Microspores are land plant spores that develop into male gametophytes.
    The male gametophyte gives rise to sperm cells, which are used for fertilization of an egg
    cell to form a zygote.

    5.What is tapetum?
    A.Tapetum is the innermost cell layer in the anther, which surrounds the developing pollen mother cells (PMCs) and/or microspores supplying nutrition and enzymes required for microsporogenesis and pollen maturation.


    6.What is endothecium and mention its functions?
    A.The cell layer lining the lumen of the anther is called endothecium. It secretes materials that aid in the development of pollen grains.Microsporangium.Endothecium performs the function of protection and helps in dehiscence of another to release the pollen.

    7.Define megasporangium and state its types?
    A. Megasporangia is female sporangia that generate megasporocytes (megameiocytes), which give rise to megaspores. Sporangia can be carried in a variety of structures, including sori in ferns, cones etc.
    Mature megasporangium can be classified under 5 types .
    1.Orthotropous or atropous.
    2.Anatropous.
    3.Camphylotropous.
    4.Amphitropous.
    5.Hemianatropous

    .8.What is embryo sac?
    A. the female gametophyte of a seed plant consisting of a thin-walled sac within the nucellus that contains the egg nucleus and other nuclei which give rise to endosperm on fertilization.

    9.Define nucellus and chalaza?
    A.NUCELLUS:
    the central and chief part of a plant ovule that encloses the female gametophyte
    The nucellus' primary function is to supply nutrition to the embryo. Nucellus is important
    in plants that reproduce sexually. It gives nutrients to the embryo and also protects it
    from the harsh environment outside.
    CHALAZA:
    Chalaza is the basal part of the ovule in plants, where nucellus and integuments join. It is present opposite to the micropylar end of an ovule. Nutrients from plants are transported to nucellus through chalaza.

    10.What is polygonal type of embryo sac?
    a.The normal or polygonum type of embryo sac is a monosporic eight nucleate. The embryo sac develops from the chalazal megaspore. Its nucleus divides thrice to form eight nuclei. This type is known as normal or polygonum type of embryo sac.
