Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
Biology Solutions from Chapter -1 - Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
This chapter describes the sexual reproduction in flowering plants. It describes the structures and events of pre-fertilisation and post-fertilisation in detail. It also briefs the apomixis and polyembryony.
Practice Other Topics from Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
In this topic, the sexual reproduction in plants is explained in detail. The role of petals, sepals, stamen and pistil in reproduction is also explained in detail.
In this topic, we will learn about flowers and how they act as the reproductive organ in plants. The role of each part of a flower along with their importance is explained in detail.
This topic describes the structure and events that occur in the pre-fertilisation stage. It explains microsporogenesis and megasporogenesis in detail. Then, it describes pollination, its types and agents. It also provides brief account of artificial hybridisation.
This topic briefs on the structure of anther along with the development of male gametophyte. It also explains it through pictures for better understanding.
This topic briefs on the structure of ovule. We will also learn about the development of female gametophyte. Monosporic development and nucleate stages are also highlighted.
In this topic, we will learn about pollination and its types, such as autogamy, geitonogamy and xenogamy are explained. The agents of pollination are also highlighted here.
In this topic, the pollen pistil interaction is explained as the process of transfer of pollen grains from anther to pistil. We will also get to learn about outbreeding devices.
This topic explains double fertilization that occurs when one of the male gametes fuses with the nucleus of the egg cell to form a zygote. It includes a diagrammatic representation of the stages in embryo development in a dicot.
This topic explains post fertilization. It is an event that takes place after double fertilization, where the development of endosperm and embryo takes place, maturation of ovule into seeds and ovary into fruit also occurs.
In this topic, we will learn about seeds and their different structures. The process of formation of fruits is also discussed here.
This topic provides us with the definition of apomixis and polyembryony. Further, it discusses the advantages of apomixis in horticulture and agriculture briefly.
