SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Flowers are the reproductive organs of
the plant.
o The stamens are the male parts
which produce pollen.
o The ovary is the female part
which contains ovules. Ovules
become seeds.
POLLINATION
Tiny pollen grains form on the
stamens. Pollination is the movement
of pollen from the stamens to the
ovary.
Pollination usually takes place in the
same plant.
However, wind and insects also carry
pollen to other plants.
SEEDS AND FRUIT
After pollination, the flower changes. Its petals
fall. The ovary grows, and becomes a fruit with
seeds inside. When the fruit is ripe, it falls to the
ground. The fruit opens, and its seeds fall out.
The seeds germinate: they open, and small roots
and tiny leaves grow. A new plant forms.
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Some plants reproduce without flowers or seeds.
o Tubers, such as potatoes, are underground
stems. The underground stem develops
roots. A thin stem rises above the ground,
and develop leaves. A complete plant grows.
o Bulbs, such as onions.
o Some plants, such as strawberry plants, have
stolons. These are stems which extend across
the ground. Roots grow, and a new plant
begins.
