Plant Sexual Reproduction Quiz

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.
