11. Peduncle
Sepals
Stigma
The stigma is sticky so the pollen
grains that fall on it can better
adhere on it.
Q4. Why do you think the stigma is
sticky?
The Stigma
The stigma receives the pollen
from the anther.
It is an organ found in the female
part of the flower.
It is held by the style.
12. Peduncle
Sepals
Stigma
Style
ovary
It is the necklike structure through
which the pollen tube grows.
The Style
Pollen tube grows down the style
and into the ovary .
It is the juglike structure just below
the style.
The Ovary
It contains the ovules.

Ovules
There are white tiny circular structures. It
is called ovules.
Q6. Describe what you find inside the
compartments, what do you think is it?
These are the structure in the
ovary that develops into a seed
after fertilization.
The Ovules
18. Pollen grains may reach the pistil
through agents of pollination like
insects, wind, water, and humans.
Q7. How do you think pollen grains
reach the pistil?
20. Pollination is the transfer of
pollen grains from the anther to
the stigma.
21. Self Pollination
Cross
Pollination
Plants are self-pollinated if pollination occurs
within the same flower or within a different
flower on the same individual plant.
Occurs when pollen grains are transferred
to a flower on another individual plant of the
same species
27. Then, once on the stigma, pollen may “germinate,”
which means that a “pollen tube” forms on the
sticky surface of the stigma and grows down into
the ovule of the plant.
Pollen from the anthers of Flower 1 is deposited
on the stigma of Flower 2.
One of the nuclei in the pollen tube unites with the
egg nucleus in the ovule to form a zygote.
The other sperm nucleus combines with
another bigger nucleus in the ovule which develops
into the endosperm.
28. Sexual Reproduction
Is a type of reproduction that involves
gametes/sex cells (egg and sperm cells).
The offspring in sexual reproduction
have unique combinations of genes.
They differ genetically from their siblings
and both parents.
Editor's Notes
another structure of the flower is the sepal. can you point out where the sepal is?
pollen from the anthers of the flower is deposited on the stigma.
once on the stigma, pollen may germinate, which means that a pollen tube forms on the sticky surface of the stigma and grows down into the ovule of the plant.
one of the nuclei in the pollen tube unites with the egg nucleus in the ovule to form a zygote, the other sperm nucleus combines with another bigger nucleus in the ovule which develops into endosperm.
