    Study Notes

    Reproduction in Plants

    • Plants are crucial for life on Earth
    • Reproduction involves plant parts like roots, stems, and flowers
    • Animals like bees and butterflies assist in plant reproduction
    • Asexual and sexual reproduction are two types of plant reproduction

    Asexual Reproduction

    • A single parent produces offspring
    • Offspring are identical to the parent
    • New plants can be grown without seeds
    • Natural methods include budding, spore formation, fragmentation, and vegetative propagation

    Budding

    • Occurs in unicellular organisms like yeast
    • A small part of the parent organism grows as a bud
    • The bud grows, then separates from the parent, forming a new organism

    Spore Formation

    • Special reproductive structures on the parent plant
    • Spores are released, develop into new plants in suitable environments
    • Found in plants like moss, ferns, bread molds

    Fragmentation

    • Parent plant breaks into multiple pieces
    • Each piece grows into a new plant
    • Observed in filamentous algae like Spirogyra

    Vegetative Propagation

    • New plants form from vegetative parts (roots, stems, leaves)
    • The part detaches, grows into a new plant
    • Examples: roots of Dahlia, stems of potatoes, runners of strawberries

    Artificial Methods of Plant Reproduction

    • Methods used for propagating crops and ornamental plants
    • Cutting – stem cuttings (e.g., rose, Bougainvillea)
    • Layering – bending a branch, covering it with soil
    • Grafting – attaching a stem cutting (scion) to a rooted plant (stock)

    Sexual Reproduction in Plants

    • Offspring are produced from reproductive parts (flowers)
    • Involves the fusion of male and female gametes
    • Flowers have four main parts: sepals, petals, stamen (male), and pistil (female).
    • Reproduction involves pollination and fertilization

    Pollination

    • Transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma
    • Agents include wind, water, and animals (like insects)

    Fertilization

    • Fusion of male and female gametes (pollen and egg)
    • Fertilized ovule develops into a seed
    • Ovary develops into a fruit to protect the seed
    • Seed dispersal – scattering of seeds
    • Methods include wind, water, animals, and explosion

    Seed Dispersal Mechanisms

    • Wind, water, animals, and explosion are common mechanisms
    • Seeds adapted for dispersal (e.g., winged seeds, spiny seeds)
