    This document provides information about sexual reproduction in plants. It defines the male and female reproductive parts of flowers as the stamen and pistil, respectively. The stamen produces pollen grains containing male gametes, while the pistil contains the female gametes in its ovary. Pollination is described as the process by which male gametes are transferred from the anther to the stigma, either through self-pollination within a flower or cross-pollination between flowers. This allows the male and female gametes to fuse and form a zygote, leading to the production of a new plant with characteristics of both parent plants.

    WEEK 9 LESSON 2

    Topic: Reproduction in Plants


    Sub-topic: Sexual Reproduction in Plants
    Objective: Given a picture of a flower students will:
    - label all the parts of the flower and state their functions correctly.
    - differentiate between the male and female parts of the flower.
    - differentiate between the two types of pollination.
    Flowers

     The flowers of a plant are its reproductive organs that participate in the sexual reproduction process.
     The male reproductive parts of a plant are called Stamen.
     The female reproductive parts of a plant are called Pistil.
     Some flowers contain both stamen and pistil and are called Bisexual Flowers. Eg. Lily, rose, hibiscus,
    petunia, mustard, etc.
     Some flowers contain either the statement or the pistil and hence are called Unisexual Flowers. Eg. papaya,
    watermelon, cucumber, coconut, etc.
     The new plant produced contains the characteristics of both plants that participate in sexual reproduction.
     The stamen consists of Anther that has pollen grains. These pollen grains produce male gametes.

    Figure 11: Stamen


     The pistil consists of three parts:
    o Stigma – It is a sticky surface where pollen grains get attached.
    o Style – It is a tube-like structure that connects the stigma and the ovary.
    o Ovary – It contains eggs in which the female gametes or eggs are formed.
    The Ovary

    How the male gametes reach the female gametes in plants?


     The male and female gametes fuse and form a zygote.

     The male gametes reach the female gametes by the process of pollination.
     The pollen grains have a tough covering which allows them to survive the different climatic conditions.
     Due to their lightweight, winds and water often carry them away to different plants. Sometimes the pollen
    grains also get attached to insects that carry them to different flowers.
     This process of transfer of pollen grains from one stigma to another is called Pollination.

    Pollination
    There are two types of pollination:
    o Self-pollination: When the pollen grains land on the stigma of the same flower.
    o Cross-pollination: When the pollen grains land on the stigma of a different flower on another flower on
    another plant but they are both of the same species.

    Self-pollination and Cross-pollination
