Unisex- male or female

Hermaprodites- both male and female


Pollination is important because it brings gametes together
Filament is slender stalk that attaches after the flower

4 whorls
1st whorl is the sepal and it protects small developing flowers
2nd whorl is the petal and it brings attraction
3rd whorl is stamen and it’s the male part
4th whorl is the pistil and it’s the female part

Stamen- he male fertilizing organ of a flower, typically consisting of a pollen-containing anther and
a filament. (Stamen and Filament)

Pistil- the female organs of a flower, comprising the stigma, style, and ovary.

Cross Pollination- when the pollen from a plant lands on the stigma of the other plant transported by
wind called Heterogamy

Self Pollination- Pollen from a flower lands on the same stigma called autogamy

Getinomagy is when the pollen from a flowers lands on the stigma of another flowers on the same plant

Fertilization 1- germinating cells…. fusion of the male gametes (pollen) with the female
gametes (ovum) to form a diploid zygote

Fertilization 2- food storage…. the two sperm cells, they interact and fuse with two dimorphic
female gametes (the egg and the central cell) forming the major seed components
embryo and endosperm, respectively

Insect Pollinated Flower-


brightly colored
have lots of smell
small quantiles of pollen
The anthers are found deep inside the flowers

Wind Pollinated flower-


small and light weighted
dull in color so it doesn’t attract insects
Anthers produced lots of pollen so it can move all over the place – have large anthers
Stigma is large and feathery
Large quantities of pollen
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Advantages of sexual reproduction- One parent
and plant is identical to parent and don’t need to wait for male or female gamete

Filament connects anther to flower and is a slender stalk


…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Vegetative organs- Plant reproduce asexually by a range of vegetative method

corm- pumpkin
short
swollen
underground
………………………….

Bulb- onion

underground
fleshy/scaly leaves
new plants develop from terminal or lateral bud reproduced stem
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Rizome- Ginger

Underground stem it is swollen up


stem help firmly in the soil
terminal buds give rise to the new plants.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

If a plant has no anther then it will be unisex because it does not have both games
it has no stamen so the whole plant is female
stamen is for males

Vegetables are vegetative orangs which are asexual reproduction
