Explore the two types of plant reproduction - asexual and sexual. Learn about natural cloning, parts of a flower, pollination methods, and advantages/disadvantages of each reproduction method. Dive into terminology like haploid, diploid, mitosis, and meiosis.

Two types of Reproduction • Asexual vs Sexual
Asexual Reproduction Natural “cloning” of the parent plant. Parts of the plant, such as leaves or stems, produce roots and become an independent plant. • List some benefits and some drawbacks to asexual reproduction.
Sexual Reproduction • When male cells in the pollen grain join with female cells in the ovule. • List some advantages and drawbacks to sexual reproduction.
Pollination • Transfer of mature pollen grains from the anther to the stigma • -wind • -insects • -birds & other animals
Flowers • Compete flowers have four basic parts: • Sepals • Petals • Stamens • Pistil
Sepals Sepals are leaf-like structures that form an outer ring around the base of a flower. Sepals enclose and protect a flower bud before it opens. The complete ring of sepals is called the calyx. Sepals
Petals Colored part of a flower that attract pollinators. Petals
Stamen Anther Male reproductive part of the flower. Contains both the filament and the anther. Filament
Pistil Stigma The pistil includes three parts: 1. Stigma2. Style3. Ovary Style Ovary
Stigma A sticky, flattened surface that collects pollen. Birds and insects collect nectar from previously visited plants and brush against the sticky surface of the stigma. Stigma
Style a supportive structure that holds the stigma. Style
Ovary an enlarged structure that contains the female sex cells, or ovules. The pollen tube grows through the ovary and into an ovule. Pollen Tube Ovary Ovule

Terms to know: • Haploid: • having a single set of chromosomes in each cell. • Diploid: • having two sets of chromosomes in each cell. • Mitosis: • cell division, which produces two genetically identical cells. • Meiosis: • reduction division, which produces four haploid reproductive cells.
