1. FLOWERS
A FLOWER, SOMETIMES KNOWN AS A BLOOM OR BLOSSOM, IS THE
REPRODUCTIVE STRUCTURE FOUND IN FLOWERING PLANTS (PLANTS
OF THE DIVISION ANGIOSPERMAE). THE BIOLOGICAL FUNCTION OF A
FLOWER IS TO FACILITATE REPRODUCTION, USUALLY BY PROVIDING
A MECHANISM FOR THE UNION OF SPERM WITH EGGS. FLOWERS MAY
FACILITATE OUTCROSSING (FUSION OF SPERM AND EGGS FROM
DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS IN A POPULATION) RESULTING FROM
CROSS-POLLINATION OR ALLOW SELFING (FUSION OF SPERM AND
EGG FROM THE SAME FLOWER) WHEN SELF-POLLINATION OCCURS.
