Plant Reproduction

Front 1

Sexual Reproduction

Back 1

• involes two parent plants
• a cell from each combining to produce a seed which becomes a new plant
• this plant has features of both plants e.g. apples, dandelions

Front 2

Asexual Reproduction

Back 2

• involves only one parent
• cells from this parent divide and a new plant grows from these cells
• this plant is identical to the parent e.g. strawberries, potatoes

Structure of the flower

Back 3

Sexual reproduction is the function of the flower.
Structure of flower:-
• Sepal
• Petal
• Carpel-female reproductive organ, made up of three parts: stigma, style and ovary.
• Stamen-the male reproductive organ, made up of two parts: anther and filament.

Sepal

Back 4

• These protect the flower while it is still a bud.
• They often disappear as flower matures.

Front 5

Petal

Back 5

• In insect pollinated plants, these may be large, colorful or scented in order to attract the pollinator.
• In wind pollinated plants they are very small and dull.

Front 6

Stigma (Carpel)

Back 6

• This is at the top of the carpel
• It is where the pollen containing the male reproductive gamete lands.

Front 7

Style (Carpel)

Back 7

• This stalk leads to the ovary
• The pollen travels down through it

Front 8

Ovary (Carpel)

Back 8

• This is where the egg cell containing the female reproductive gamete, is produced.
• It is also where the male and female gametes fuse together to form the new zygote, which will become the new plant

Front 9

Anther (Stamen)

Back 9

• This is at the top of the stamen
• It is where the pollen containing the male reproductive gamete is produced and released

Front 10

Filament (Stamen)

Back 10

• This is the stalk, it supports the anther
