Flower Structure and Function
-
Petals: Brightly colored parts that attract insects, facilitating pollination.
-
Stamen: The male reproductive part of the flower, composed of the anther and filament.
-
Anther: Responsible for producing male gametes, known as pollen.
-
Filament: A supporting structure for the anther, positioning it for optimal access by insects.
-
Ovary: Contains ovules and transforms into fruit after fertilization.
-
Ovule: The female reproductive structure in seed plants that produces the egg gamete.
-
Pistil: The collective term for the female parts of the flower, which include the stigma and style.
-
Stigma: The sticky surface at the top of the style, where pollen grains typically adhere.
-
Style: The elongated portion of the pistil located between the ovary and stigma; it allows the growth of the pollen tube.
-
Pollen: The male gamete carrying half of the genetic material necessary for new plant development.
-
Stalk: The support structure for the flower, aiding in elevation and stability.
-
Sepal: The outer covering of the flower bud, providing protection before blooming.
-
Meiosis: A type of cell division that results in the formation of gametes, occurring within the ovary and anther of the flower.
