Sexual Reproduction in
flowering plants

FLOWER
A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or
blossom, is the reproductive structure found
in flowering plants. The biological function
of a flower is to facilitate reproduction,
usually by providing a mechanism for the
union of sperm with eggs.
PARTS
OF
FLOWER
Vegetative Parts of a Flower
The vegetative part of a flower consists of the
following:
Petals: This is a bright-coloured part that attracts bees,
insects, and birds. Colour of petals varies from plant to
plant; some are bright while some are pale coloured.
Thus, petals help us to differentiate one flower from
another.
Sepals: Sepal is the green-coloured part beneath the
petals to protect rising buds. Some flowers have fused
petals-sepals while a few have separated petals-sepals.
REPRODUCTIVE PART OF FLOWER
Male reproductive part
Female reproductive part
There are two reproductive parts
of the flower –
Stamen: male reproductive part
and have two parts
1.filament. The filament is a
slender, threadlike object, which
functions by supporting the
anther
2.Anther. The anther is a
yellowish, sac-like structure,
involved in producing and
storing the pollens.
.
Pistil: female reproductive part and
divided into-
Stigma: It is the topmost part or
receptive tip of carpels in the
gynoecium of a flower.
Style: It is the long tube-like slender
stalk that connects stigma and the
ovary.
Ovary: It is the ductless reproductive
gland that holds a lot of ovules. It is
the part of the plant where the seed
formation takes place.
Pollination
Pollination is the process in which the pollens are transferred from anther to stigma. The process
of pollination can occur through a different medium
Fertilization occurs when
pollen grains are carried by the
wind to the open end of an
ovule, which contains the eggs,
or female gametophyte. There,
the pollen grain develops an
outgrowth called a pollen tube,
which eventually penetrates to
the egg cell
Functions Of Flower
1.Gametophytes develop in the flowers.
2.The flowers can produce diaspores without fertilization.
3.After fertilization, the ovary of the flower develops into a fruit containing
a seed.
4.The most important function of flowers is reproduction. They help in the
union of male and female gametes.
5.Flowers provide nectar to certain birds and insects, which in turn help in
the transfer of pollen from one flower to the other.
6.Flowers may promote selfing, i.e., the union of sperms and eggs from the
same flower, or cross-fertilization, i.e., the union of sperms and eggs from
different flowers
