Of the plant variety

1
Reproduction

• Of the plant variety

2
Reproduction

• Has made the continuation of life possible
• Ensures the survival of the species
• 2 Types of reproduction
• - Asexual only need one living organism
• - Sexual need a male and a female parent

3
Plants

• Plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually

4
Asexual reproduction in plants

• Can reproduce from a part of their own organism
  (root, stem, or leaf)
• Example Strawberry plants, the trembling aspen
  forest

5
Sexual reproduction

• 3 forms of sexual reproduction in plant kingdom
• - flowers (flowering plants)/angiosperms
  (enclosed seed)
• - cones (conifers)/gymnosperms (naked seed)
• - spores (algae, mosses, ferns)
• Seeds contain everything needed to create a new
  plant.
• -Embryo (small immature plant)
• - cotyledon (food reserves)
• - seed coat (protective covering)

6

• Stamen Male parts
• - anther where pollen is produced and stored
• -Pollen grains contain male gametes (spermatozoa)
• Pistil Female parts
• - stigma sticky surface which captures pollen
  grains
• - ovary swollen base that contains female
  gametes (ovules)
• - ovules female gametes

7
Pollination

• Two types
• - Self-pollination pollen is transferred to the
  pistil of the same flower
• -Cross-pollination the wind and/or insects
  carry pollen to the pistil of a different flower

8
Fertilization

• During fertilization the male and female gametes
  combine to form a zygote
• A zygote is the cell containing complete genetic
  material

9
Animal Reproduction

• Invertebrates about 97 of all animal species
• They reproduce either asexually or sexually
• Vertebrates
• - Most reproduce sexually

10
Sexual Reproduction

• Male animals ? produce male gametes (spermatozoa)
• Female animals ?produce female gametes (ova)
• Both the male/female gametes contain half of the
  genetic material of the future offspring.
