Flashcards
Flower part for male gametes
Flower part for male gametes
The anther produces pollen, which contains the male gametes.
Stigma's function
Stigma's function
The stigma is the sticky part of a flower that catches pollen.
Flower part for gamete transfer
Flower part for gamete transfer
The style of a flower connects the stigma to the ovary, allowing pollen to travel to the ovary (which has the female sex cells).

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.
