Sexual Reproduction in Plants

Summarizing Paragraph

Theflower contains both male (stamen) and female (carpel) reproductive parts. Thestamen produces the male gametes in the form of pollen and the carpel produces female gametes in the form of ovules. For sexual reproduction to occur you musthave pollination occurring followed by fertilization in which a zygote isproduced. Pollination is the process by which pollen grains are transferred fromthe anther to the stigma. There are two types; self-pollination and crosspollination. There are several agents that aid this process these include bees,butterflies, humans, water and wind. Pollination is very important because ifthis process is not successful then fertilization cannot occur and in generalsexual reproduction in plants will not occur.
