1. Angiosperms Flowering plants 2. Gymnosperm Cone producing plants Two Types of Seed Producing Plants
1. Complete Has both male and female structures Most flowers are this type 2. Incomplete Has either male or female structures Examples: zucchini, pumpkins, squash Two Types of Flowers

Stamen • Stamen (#1) • Male portion of flower • Anther (#2) • Produces pollen • Filament (#3) • Holds the anther up • Pollen (#4) • Male sex cell
Pistil • Pistil (#5) • Female portion • Stigma (#6) • Top sticky portion where pollen attaches • Style (#7) • Middle portion that gives height • Ovary (#8) • Produces ovules (#9) • Ovules (#9) • Female sex cell
Other structures • Petals (#10) • Colored portion • Attracts pollinators • Protects inner parts • Sepals (#11) • Usually green • Protects flower in bud stage
1. Self Pollination Pollen from the same flower fertilizes ovules Stamen is taller than pistil 2. Cross pollination Pollen from another flower fertilizes ovule Stamen is lower than pistil Two Types of Pollination
Process of Pollination • 1. Pollen lands on sticky stigma (pistil) • 2. A hollow tube (pollen tube) grows down the pistil to the ovary • 3. The nucleus (which contains chromosomes) moves down the pollen tube and combines with the nucleus of the ovule • 4. Fertilization occurs creating a seed (baby plant
