Flowers and Reproduction
Concepts
Reproduction
Producing offsprings
Identical copies of parental genes
Generating new individuals
Genetically different from the parents
Types
Asexual Reproduction
Sexual Reproduction
Flowers
Contains reproducing parts
Seeds
Produced by sexual reproduction
Asexual Reproduction
Occures within angiosperms
Fragmentation
Numerous methods of asexual reproduction
A large spreading or vining plants
Individual parts
Becomes self-sufficient
By establishing adventitious roots

To pollinators
Determinate inflorescences
Indeterminate inflorescences
Fruit types and seed Dispersed
True fruits and accessory fruits
Classification of fruit types
Simple fruit
Aggregate fruit
Accessory fruit
Multiple fruit
True fruit
Only ovarian tisssues
Non- ovarian tissue
Single ovary
Fused ovaries of one flower
Fleshy
Compound fruits
Dry
Dehiscent
Seed development
Attract pollinators helps in cross pollination
Humans gametes haploid so no alternation of generation
double fertilization involves egg and polar nuclei
