Comparing Plant and Animal Systems

In flowering plants, eggs are produced inside the _____________. Sperm are produced inside the ________________ grains.

• phleom, xylem

• ovules, pollen

• pollen, xylem

• pollen, ovules

Reproduction occurs in most plants when an egg is fertilized by sperm. Pollen grains are deposited at the stigma, sperm travels down the style into the ovary, where it fertilizes the egg. This is most similar to which system in animals?

• respiratory system

• reproductive system

• endocrine system

• nervous system
