Questions and Answers
Explain the difference between asexual and sexual reproduction in plants.
Explain the difference between asexual and sexual reproduction in plants.
Asexual reproduction involves a single parent producing offspring that are identical to the parent, while sexual reproduction requires two parents to produce offspring with traits from both parents.
Describe the reproductive structures of angiosperms.
Describe the reproductive structures of angiosperms.
Angiosperms have separate structures for producing male and female gametes. Both the male and female structures usually occur together in the same individual flower, and angiosperm reproductive structures are not permanent parts of the adult individual.
What are the male and female gametophytes in flowering plants?
What are the male and female gametophytes in flowering plants?
The male gametophyte is the pollen grain, and the female gametophyte is the embryo sac.

Study Notes
How Living Things Reproduce
- There are two main types of reproduction: asexual and sexual
- Asexual reproduction involves a single parent producing offspring that are identical to the parent
- Sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces offspring with traits from both parents
How Plants Reproduce
- Flowering plants or angiosperms are adapted for sexual reproduction
- Angiosperms have separate structures for producing male and female gametes
- The reproductive organs of angiosperms have two distinct features:
- Male and female structures usually occur together in the same individual flower
- Reproductive structures are not permanent parts of the adult individual
Sexual Reproduction in Plants
- Pollen grains are male gametophytes
- Embryo sac is the female gametophyte
- Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the pistil
- There are two types of pollination:
- Self-pollination: occurs when pollen falls from the anther into the stigma of the same flower
- Cross-pollination: is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower
