General Reproduction
What are the two main types of reproduction in plants?
Sexual and asexual reproduction.
What is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma called?
Pollination
What is the purpose of seed dispersal?
To spread seeds away from the parent plant for growth.
Name a method of asexual reproduction in plants.
budding, vegetative propagation, fragmentation, spore formation, tubers, cuttings
Which part of the flower produces pollen?
The anther.
In which type of reproduction do plants produce offspring identical to the parent?
Asexual reproduction.
What are the two types of pollination?
Self-pollination and cross-pollination.
Name a method of seed dispersal that uses animals.
Seeds with hooks or edible fruits.
How do plants like potatoes reproduce asexually?
Through tubers.
What is the female reproductive part of a flower called?
(+50 if you can identify its other name)

What is the primary reproductive unit in sexual reproduction?

How do wind-pollinated flowers differ from insect-pollinated flowers?
Wind-pollinated flowers are small and do not have bright colors or strong scents to attract a pollinator
What adaptation helps seeds disperse through wind?
Light weight and wing-like structures.
