The Reproductive Part of a Plant

Which plant part is primarily responsible for reproduction?

• Root

• Flower

• Leaf

• Stem

A plant needs to produce seeds to continue its species. Which structure should you study first to understand how seeds are formed?

• Broad green leaves

• Deep taproots

• Tall woody stems

• Colorful flowers

Which statement best describes sexual reproduction in plants?

• It involves joining male and female gametes

• It uses runners to make identical offspring

• It requires only one parent to form clones

• It occurs only in non-flowering plants

A plant grows a new identical plant from a stem called a runner. Which mode of reproduction is this?

• Sexual reproduction

• Asexual reproduction

• Spore-based reproduction

• Seed dispersal process

Which statement best describes asexual reproduction in plants?

• New plants grow only from flowers and fruits

• New plants require pollen and ovules fusion

• New plants form without seed production

• New plants form after animals spread seeds

Look at the potato with sprouts. What process is shown as a way new plants can grow?

• Spore formation in leaf structures

• Seed germination inside the fruit

• Sexual reproduction using flower pollen

• Vegetative propagation from tuber buds

A plant forms small plantlets along the edges of its leaves that can fall and root. What type of reproduction is this?

• Budding producing leaf plantlets

• Sexual reproduction in flowers

• Seed dispersal by wind

• Fusion of gametes forming zygote

Which statement best describes sexual reproduction in flowering plants?

• Seeds appearing without fertilization by gametes

• Splitting one plant into two identical parts

• Fusion of egg and sperm forming embryo

• Water and sunlight directly turning into seeds

What are the male and female reproductive organs in a flower called?

• Pistil and stamen respectively

• Stamen and pistil respectively

• Ovule and pollen respectively

• Sepal and petal respectively

During fertilization, which two cells fuse to start a new plant?

• Seed coat and ovary wall

• Pollen grain and petal cell

• Leaf cell and root cell

• Female egg and male sperm
