Pergunta

The male sex cells in the pollen are called sperm. When the sperm and eggs combine, sexual reproduction occurs and the egg is fertilized. The fertilized ogg becomes a seed. Where would you predict you would find seeds in a fertilized flower?Why? Apply your knowledge (challenge question): A pumpkin plant has both male and female flowers.The pollen has to come from the male flowers to pollinate the female flowers, which have a large ovule, and will turn into the fruit.. If a pumpkin plant has 7 female flowers, how many pumpkins do you expect if to yield? __ because (Remember, it takes male and female to pollinate)

1. Seeds in a fertilized flower would be found within the fruit. This is because the fertilized egg develops into a seed, and the surrounding tissue of the flower develops into the fruit.<br />2. If a pumpkin plant has 7 female flowers, we would expect it to yield 7 pumpkins, assuming that each female flower is successfully pollinated.
Explicação
## Step 1<br />The first part of the question asks where seeds would be found in a fertilized flower. In the process of sexual reproduction in plants, the male sex cells, known as pollen, are transferred to the female sex cells, or eggs. This process is known as pollination. The fertilized egg then develops into a seed. In a flower, the seeds are typically found within the fruit. This is because the fertilized egg develops into a seed, and the surrounding tissue of the flower develops into the fruit.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The second part of the question is a challenge question that applies the knowledge from the first part. It asks how many pumpkins a pumpkin plant would yield if it has 7 female flowers. The process of pollination requires both male and female flowers. The male flowers produce pollen, which is then transferred to the female flowers. Each female flower has a large ovule, which will develop into a fruit. Therefore, if a pumpkin plant has 7 female flowers, we would expect it to yield 7 pumpkins, assuming that each female flower is successfully pollinated.
