Life Cycle of a Flowering Plant

             Almost all flowering plants are known as 'Angiosperms', which means plants
             whose seed production comes from flowering. Seeds are packaged within a
             fruit to be transported away from parent plant.
             Angiosperms are vascular plants containing xylem and phloem in bundled
             Plant cells, unlike animals they have multicellular haploid and
             multicellular diploid stages in there cycle. By the process of meiosis,
             diploid sporophyte cells produce haploid spores. Each haploid spore
             undergoes mitotic division creating multicellular haploid gametophyte.
             Gametes are the by-product of multicellular haploid gametophyte by process
             of mitosis. However gametes are not the direct result of mitotic division.
             Diploid sporophyte is the creation of two gametes fusing together.
             During fertilization, multicellular haploid cells change to multicellular
             Meiosis is the process of cell division (reproduction). Process of meiosis
             a cell undergoes two divisions. A cell divides to produce two cells each
             new cell holds DNA, the two new cells then divide again. It is not
             concerned about creating a working cell. Cells genetics are shuffled during
             meiosis, therefore the first division of cells do not have equal quantity
             of chromosomes, and it is in the second division of cells that chromosomes
             are divided equally in the new cells. There are two stages to meiosis.
             First stage of meiosis is like mitosis, where a cell divides into two both
             containing equal measures of DNA. Where in mitosis cells share equal DNA,
             meiosis a crossing-over is when the cells DNA exchange genes. These genes
             get mixed up producing the opposite perfect duplicate cells like mitosis.
             Second stage of meiosis DNA that remains in the cell condenses to form
             short chromosomes. All pairs of chromosome have a centromere. Centrioles
             begin at opposite sides of the cell. In metaphase ll, all chromosomes are
             lined in the middle of the cell and the centrioles are...
