Study Notes
Male Gamete Production
- The anther is the part of the flower responsible for producing male gametes (pollen grains).
Function of the Stigma
- The stigma serves as the receptive surface for pollen; it is the first point of contact for male gametes, facilitating pollination.
Transfer of Male Gametes
- The style is the part of the flower that allows the transfer of male gametes (from pollen on the stigma) down to the female gametes located in the ovary.
Lowermost Part of the Pistil
- The ovary is the lowermost part of the pistil, housing the ovules and playing a crucial role in the fertilization process.
Types of Flowers
- Papaya, banana, maize, and cucumber are classified as monoecious flowers, meaning they have both male and female reproductive structures on the same plant.
