Study Notes
Flowers and Reproduction
- Incomplete flowers are those that lack one or more of the four floral organs: sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels.
Carpels
- The swollen base of the carpel is called the ovary.
Pollination
- Self-pollination involves the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the same kind of flower.
Gametes
- The female gamete of the plant is called the egg cell.
Reproductive Organs
- The reproductive organs of the flower are the stamen (male) and carpel (female).
Types of Reproduction
-
Vegetative propagation results in clonal plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant.
-
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes, resulting in genetically different offspring.
Asexual Reproduction
-
Vegetative propagation, which involves the development of a new individual from a specialized outgrowth, is a form of asexual reproduction.
-
The result of asexual reproduction through fragmentation is the production of new individuals that are genetically identical to the parent plant.
-
Agenesis is the term for the process of producing new individuals without the fusion of gametes.
