Prepare a flow chart to explain the process of sexual reproduction in plants. (AS5)
The male reproductive system of the flower consists of the stamen that produces the male gametophyte- pollen grains
The female reproductive system consists of carpel which consists of stigma, style, and ovary. Ovary consists of the female game in the ovules.
Pollination is the process in which the pollen grains are transferred from the anther of the stamen to the stigma of the carpel
The germination of pollen produces pollen tube which travels down the stigma towards the ovary
The ovary consists of 1 or more ovules. The ovule develops into embryo sac which is a 7-celled, 8-nucleated structure.
The pollen consists of 2 male gametes- generative cell and vegetative cell which travel down to the embryo sac
One of the cells fuses with the female gamete to form zygote while the other fuses with the polar nuclei to form a triploid. This is called double fertilization.
After fertilization the embryo sac gets converted into seed coat, polar nuclei form endosperm, ovary forms the fruit and zygote forms embryo
