Sexual Reproduction in Plants

1:14 Sexual and Asexual Reproduction
Spec 4.6.1.1 4.6.1.2
  • Flowering plants reproduce sexually using gametes.
  • Male pollen from one plant lands on the female part of another flower during pollination.
  • Some plants can self-pollinate as they produce both male and female gametes.
  • Post-pollination, pollen and egg cells fuse to restore the full chromosome number.
  • The pollen cell grows a tube towards the egg cell located in the flower head.
  • Upon contact, the pollen tube facilitates the fertilization process, restoring full chromosome numbers.
  • The fertilized cell develops into fruit seeds.
  • A fertilized plant eventually produces fruit containing seeds, which are ready to grow into new plants.
