Reproductive Biology
• Cell Division
– Somatic cell division (Mitosis)
– Reproductive cell division (Meiosis)
• Flowering and Anthesis
– Megagametogenesis (EMC to Egg Cells)
– Microgametogenesis (PMC to Pollen Grains)
• Pollination and Fertilization
– Pollen germination on stigma
– Pollen tube growth through style tissue
– Double fertilization
Mitosis
- Somatic Cell Division
- Ends up with same number of
chromosomes in divided cells
- Divided cells are genetically
identical to maternal cells
2N ---------► 2N + 2N
Meiosis
• Reproductive cell division
• Undergoes 2 separate
divisions
• Forms gametes
• Divided cells have a half of
the chromosome numbers
• Ends up with genetic reassortment by chromosomal
translocation (cross-over)
2N ---►---► N + N + N + N
An Example of Meiosis
Chromosome Numbers
Terminology
x = Number of chromosomes in a genome
Genomic chromosome number
A set of different chromosomes
“Oneness”
n = Number of chromosomes in gametes
Gametic chromosome number
“Halfness”
2n = Number of chromosomes in somatic cells
Somatic chromosome number
“Wholeness”

Polyploidization
Use of Cholchicine to

Polyploidy Terminology (continued)
• Euploidy
Variation between chromosome sets
• Aneuploidy
Variation within a chromosome set
• Autoploidy
Multiplication of the complete set of
genomes of a species
• Alloploidy
Polyploid containing genetically different sets
of chromosomes derived from 2 or more
species
Aneuploidy
Variation within a chromosome set
A diploid plant (2n=2x=14) would contain the following
chromosome numbers depending on aneuploidy
conditions:

Life Cycle
• Alternation of
gametophytic (n) and
sporophytic (2n) stages in a
cycle
• Sporophytic (2n) stage is
long and gametophytic (n)
stage is brief
Pollen Tetrad and Microgametophyte
- One tube nucleus
- Two sperm nuclei
Megagametophyte
1 egg nucleus
2 polar nuclei
3 antipodal nuclei
2 synergids
Pollination and Fertilization, Angiosperms
Double Fertilization
A process of fertilization in which one male gamete (sperm nucleus, n) unites
the egg nucleus (n) to form embryo (zygote, 2n) and the other sperm nucleus
(n) unites polar nuclei (2n) to form endosperm (3n)
