REPRODUCTION IN PLANTS

Useful to all the Exams and NEET and Board Exams and CBSE . All kind of sections like SSC to Post Graduation.

Most of the plants contain reproductive organs of both male and female in the flowers. The same flower has both male and female reproductive organs. Such flowers make male and female gametes and ensure that fertilisation takes place so that new seeds are formed for the reproduction of plant.

The male organ of a flower is called stamen. It helps in making male gametes of the plant and is present in pollen grains.

The female organ of a flower is called carpel. It helps in making female gametes or egg cells of the plant and is present in ovules.

The male gametes fertilise the female gametes.

The fertilised egg cells grow in ovules and become seeds.

When germinated, these seeds become new plants.
