    1)What is the reproductive organ in plants ?

    Ans: In angiosperms ( means flowering plants ), the reproductive organ is flowers.

    2) What are the reproductive parts in a flower ?

    Ans: Stamen and Carpel/ pistil.

    3) What is Carpel/ pistil ?

    Ans: Carpel/ pistil is the female reproductive part of a flower. It is present in the middle of a flower. It has
    three parts- stigma, style, ovary.

    Swollen bottom part is the ovary.

    Middle elongated part is the style.

    Terminal part may be sticky and is known as stigma.

    4) What is Stamen?

    Ans: Stamen is the male reproductive part of a flower . It has two parts – anther and filament.

    Anther – The part of a stamen that produces and contains pollen.

    Filament – It is a stalk like structure that attaches to the base of a flower and supports the anther.

    5) What is the function of female part of a flower ?

    Ans: The female part of a flower makes female gametes inside the ovary, which consist of ovule, which
    has an egg inside it.

    6) What is the function of male reproductive part of a flower ?

    Ans: The male part of flower has anther, which makes pollen grains, and the pollen grains contains male
    gametes inside it.

    7) Write the difference between male and female gamete?


    Ans: The male cell is small and motile.

    The female germ cell is large as it stores food and is non – motile.

    8) What are unisexual and bisexual flowers? Give examples.

    Ans: Unisexual flowers : Unisexual flowers are flowers that has only male or female reproductive parts,
    i.e. either stamens or carpels are present. For example – papaya, watermelon, coconut flower, cucumber
    etc.

    Bisexual flowers : Flowers containing both male and female reproductive parts i.e. both stamen and
    carpel are known as bisexual flowers. For example – hibiscus, mustard, tomato, rose , sunflower , lily,
    mango, brinjal, tulip etc.

    9) What is fertilization ?

    Or

    How is a zygote formed?

    Ans: The male germ – cell produced by pollen grain fuses with the female gamete present in the ovule.
    This fusion of male and female gamete is known as fertilization, which gives us the zygote.

    10) What is pollination ?

    Ans : The process of transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma is called pollination.

    11) What is the function of stigma ?

    Ans: Stigma recieves the pollen grains from the anther.

    12) What is the function of style ?

    Ans: The function of style is to transfer pollen grain from the stigma to the ovule. Style guide the pollen
    grain to reach the ovule through pollen tube.

    13) What is the function of ovary ?

    Ans: The function of ovary is to produce the female gamete or egg or ova.

    14) What is the function of anther ?

    Ans : The function of anther is to produce the pollen grains, which contains the male gamete inside it.

    15) What is the function of filament ?

    Ans: Filament carries nutrients to the anther for the development of anther and pollen grains.

    16) How many types of pollination are there. Define them.

    Ans: There are two types of pollination –

    a) Self pollination : If transfer of pollen occurs in the same flower, it is referred to as self pollination .
    It is only possible in case of bisexual flowers.
    b) Cross pollination: If transfer of pollen occurs from one flower to another i.e. flower of a different
    plant, it is referred to as cross pollination . It is possible both in unisexual and bisexual flowers .
    17) What are the agents of pollination ?
    Ans: Abiotic agents – i) wind pollination ( known as animophily)
    ii) Water pollination ( known as hydrophily)
    Biotic agents – i) Insect pollination ( known as entomophily)
    ii) bird pollination ( known as ornithophily)
    III) Bats ( known as chiropterophily)
    IV) snails
    V) ants
    VI) snakes
    18) What is double fertilization in plants ?
    Ans: The process of fusion of one male gamete the egg nucleus and another male gamete with
    the polar nucleii or secondary nucleus is called double fertilization.
    19) Why the process of fertilization in plants known as double fertilization ?
    Or
    Explain the fertilization event in a plant.
    Ans : In a pollen grain, there are two male gametes and one tube nucleus. Tube nucleus makes
    the pollen tube . Two male gametes enter in the ovule through the pollen tube. After entering the
    ovule one male gamete will fuse with the egg and the other male gamete will fuse with two polar
    nucleii inside the ovule.
    Therefore two fusion takes place –
    i) Fusion of one male gamete and egg forms zygote .
    ii) Fusion with other male gamete and the two polar nucleii forms endosperms. (
    Endosperms is the stored food for zygote ).
    Since there are two fertilization happening. So the entire process is known as double
    fertilization.
    20) Write the post fertilization events.
    Ans: i) After fertilization the zygote divides several time to form an embryo within the
    ovule.
    II) The ovule develops a tough coat and is gradually converted into a seed.
    III) The ovary grows rapidly and ripens to form a fruit.
    IV) Meanwhile the petals, sepals , stamens, style and stigma may shrivel and fall off.
    V) The seed contains the future plant or embryo which develops into a seedling under
    appropriate conditions. This process is known as germination.
