Multicellular organisms: Sexual Reproduction In Plants Flashcards
What’s the organ of sexual reproduction
It’s the Flower
What are found in the ovules
The female sex cells
Female sex cells are produced where in the flower
Ovary
What’s pollination
It’s the transfer of pollen grains from an anther to a stigma. Polllen can be transferred by an animal/insect or by the wind
What is the function of the anther
Produce male sex cells ( pollen grains)
What is the function of pollen

What is the function of the ovary
Where ovules ( female sex cells ) are produced and stored.
What is the function of the ovule
Vivian’s female sex cell of the plant
