- sexual reproduction in plants.
- Stamen is male reproductive part.
- Anther contains pollen grains these produce male gametes.
- The filament is the stalk that supports the anther.
- Carpel is the female reproductive part.
- The stigma is the end bit that the pollen grians attach to.
- The style is the rod like section that supports the stigma.
- The ovary contains the female gametes.
- Pollination is the transfer of pollen from an anther to a stigma, so the male gametes can fertilise the female gametes.
- In sexual reproduction, pollen is transferred from the anther of one plant to the stigma of a different plant. CROSS POLINATION
- Fertilisation is the fusion of gametes.
- A pollen grain lands on the stigmaof a flower. A pollen tube grows out of pollen grain, down the style and to the ovary.
- A nucleus from the male gamete moves down the ube to join with a female gamete in the ovary. Fertilisation is the process when the two nuclei fuse together to form a zygote. This divides by mitosis to form an embryo.
- Each fertilised female gamete forms a seed. The ovary delevops into a fruit around the seed.
