Reproductive Parts of Plants
These are flowering plants.
angiosperms
This is the part of the flower that will develop into the seed after fertilization.
ovule
This is when the male and female parts are found in different flowers.
imperfect flowers
These are how ferns reproduce.
spores
This type of reproduction is when a plant propagates itself without the production and mating of gametes.
asexual reproduction
These are agents that help with pollination.
pollinators
This refers to the fusion of sperm and egg cells. fertilization
fertilization
These are plants that include pines, conifers, and cycads.
gymnosperms
These are the reproductive organs of conifers.
cones
This is when the stem and the roots, and sometimes the leaves, are structurally modified to give rise to new individuals.
vegetative reproduction
This is when the male and female parts can be found in a single flower.
perfect flowers
This refers to the growth of a new plant from a seed.
Germination
These are the leaves of ferns that produce spores.
Sporophyll
These are small, seedless, non-vascular plants that produce no flowers.
Mosses
This involves planting stem cuttings with nodes and internodes in healthy soil, or sometimes, even just in water.
cutting
This is the process of transferring pollen to the stigma.
pollination
This is when pollen is received by a different plant.
Cross-pollination
This term refers to the dominant stage of the life of mosses.
gametophyte
A phase that produces both male and female gametes for sexual reproduction.
gametophyte
This is done by planting young stems to the soil while they are still attached to the plant.
layering
This is a type of reproduction that involves two sets of cells contributing genetic material through contact of reproductive cells.
sexual reproduction
This is the embryonic leaf of the seed.
Cotyledon
This involves the holding together and connecting two plant parts: a rooted plant and the topmost part of the stem of another plant.
grafting
These are the vegetative leaves of ferns.
trophophyll
It is where seeds are produced without the fertilization of gametes.
