What Are the Details of Reproduction in Flowering Plants?
Flowers Flowers are the reproductive organs of plants. This typical flower contains a long, green structure in the center called a pistil which contains the female gametophyte and egg. Surrounding the pistil are many stamens. They house the male gametophytes which will develop into pollen grains containing sperm cells. The flower petals are designed to attract insects which assist in pollination. The underlying sepals protected the flower bud before it opened. Stamens Here we see the central region of a flower. The stamens represent the male parts of the flower. They have an enlarged tip called the anther where pollen grains are formed. In this flower, the stamens are shorter and lie closer to the pistil. The anthers are brown. The arrangement of stamens differs depending on the plant species. In this hibiscus flower, the stamens are very short and are attached to the pistil. Pistil The pistil of a flower is composed of three parts. The ovary at the base houses the female gametophyte,
