Adhesion proteins and ____ help guide the growth of the pollen tube in the proper direction towards the egg.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Species-specific signaling molecules are known to guide the growth of the pollen tube towards the egg. These molecules are recognized by receptors present on the surface of the pollen tube, which triggers a series of signaling events leading to the directional growth of the tube towards the egg. Adhesion proteins also play a crucial role in this process by attaching the pollen tube to the surrounding tissues, providing mechanical support for its growth towards the egg. However, choice A, B, D, and E are not relevant in this context.
