Flashcards
Vegetative propagation
Vegetative propagation
A type of asexual reproduction in plants where new plants develop from parts of the parent plant, like roots, stems, or leaves.
Budding
Budding
A type of asexual reproduction in plants where a new individual develops from an outgrowth or bud on the parent plant.
Fragmentation
Fragmentation
A type of asexual reproduction in plants where a parent plant breaks into fragments, and each fragment develops into a new individual.

Study Notes
Asexual Modes of Reproduction in Plants
- Asexual modes of reproduction in plants include vegetative propagation, fragmentation, and budding
- Vegetative propagation involves the growth of new plants from vegetative parts like roots, stems, and leaves
- Fragmentation involves the breaking of a parent plant into fragments that can grow into new plants
- Budding involves the growth of new plants from buds on the parent plant
Types of Flowers
- Unisexual flowers have either male or female reproductive organs, but not both
- Bisexual flowers have both male and female reproductive organs
- Unisexual flowers can be either male (staminate) or female (pistillate)
- Bisexual flowers are also known as hermaphroditic flowers
Plant Reproduction
- Plant reproduction involves the production of seeds and fruits
- Seeds contain the embryo of a new plant, while fruits are the mature ovary of a flower
- Plant reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes (sperm and egg cells)
Pollination
- Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organ to the female reproductive organ
- Pollination can occur through self-pollination (within a plant) or cross-pollination (between plants)
- Pollination is essential for plant reproduction and can be facilitated by various agents like wind, insects, and animals
Formation of a Zygote
- The formation of a zygote in plants leads to the development of an embryo
- The zygote is formed when a sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell
- The embryo develops into a seed, which contains the embryo of a new plant
