Front

What part of the plant will form the seed after fertilisation has occurred?

Back

Ovule

Front

What is germination?

Back

When the (embryonic) plant begins to grow (out of the seed)

Front

What structure has to form to allow pollen to reach the ovule?

Back

Pollen tube

Front

Why do parent plants want their seeds to disperse far away from them?

Back

To stop competition for the same resources

Front

What is pollination?

Back

The transfer of pollen from the male part of a flower (anther) to the female part (stigma).

Front

What is the role of the stamen in a flower?

Back

The stamen is the male reproductive part of a flower, consisting of the anther and filament.

Front

What is the role of the pistil in a flower?

Back

The pistil is the female reproductive part of a flower, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary.

Front

What is fertilisation in plants?

Back

The fusion of the male gamete (pollen) with the female gamete (egg cell) in the ovule.

Front

What is seed dispersal?

Back

The process by which seeds are spread away from the parent plant to reduce competition and increase the chances of germination.
