Plant Reproduction and Floral Anatomy Quiz

The stamen is the male reproductive organ of a flower, responsible for producing pollen.

Nectar serves as a food reward for pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds.

Gibberellin is a plant hormone responsible for initiating flowering.

Anemophily is a type of pollination where pollen is transferred by wind.

The calyx protects the flower bud during its development.

Sepals protect the flower bud and support it as it develops.

Eggs are produced in the pistil, the female reproductive organ of a flower.

The ovary develops into a fruit after fertilization, containing seeds.

Double fertilization in angiosperms leads to the formation of a triploid cell, which develops into endosperm, providing nutrients to the developing embryo.

The anther produces pollen, which contains the male gametes in flowers.

Embryogenesis is the process crucial for the development of embryos from fertilized eggs, leading to the formation of viable seeds.

Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organs to the female reproductive organs of a flower.

Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction in plants where seeds are produced without fertilization.

Self-pollination involves the transfer of pollen within the same flower or between flowers of the same plant.

The style connects the ovary to the stigma, facilitating the transfer of pollen during fertilization.

The stigma receives pollen for fertilization, facilitating the union of male and female gametes.

The gametophyte generation in plants produces gametes, which are necessary for sexual reproduction.
