Study Notes
Parts of a Flower
- The anther is the pollen-producing part of the flower, responsible for producing and releasing pollen grains.
- The stigma is the pollen-receiving part of the flower, responsible for catching and trapping pollen grains.
Pollination
- The purpose of pollination is to allow the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma, enabling fertilization and seed production in plants.
- Pollination is essential for the reproduction of plants, allowing them to set seeds and produce fruit.
Style Function
- The style is the narrow, elongated part of the flower that connects the stigma to the ovary, allowing pollen tubes to grow and facilitate fertilization.
Self-Pollination
- Self-pollination is a type of pollination where pollen from the anther of a flower is transferred to the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant, resulting in fertilization and seed production.
