Chapter 6: Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter, we will be learning about sexual reproduction in flowering plants. We will start by understanding the structure of a flower, including identifying its different parts and distinguishing between male and female structures. Next, we will explore the formation of pollen in the anther and the development of the embryonic sac in the ovule. We will then move on to the process of pollination and fertilization, where we will discuss the formation of the pollen tube and the male gamete. Finally, we will study the development of seeds and fruits, including the double fertilization process and the connection between seed structure and the ovule.
