Sexual reproduction is carried out only in flowering plants. <strong>Flowers<\/strong> are the reproductive organs of a plant. Usually a flower contains both male and female reproductive cells called gametes. Such flowers are also called complete or bisexual flowers. When flowers have either male gametes or female gametes, they are called incomplete or unisexual flowers. Such types of flowers are found in corn and papaya plants. A complete flower has all the four parts: sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils. Let us take a closer look at stamens and pistils.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3458\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3458\" style=\"width: 693px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-119914\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-1.png\" alt=\"How does a Flowering Plant Reproduce 1\" width=\"693\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-1.png 693w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-1-300x111.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Male and female organs in a complete flower<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Stamens (male organ)<\/strong> They bear the anthers that contain pollen grains.

Count the number of petals and stamens.<br \/>\n4.\u00a0bserve where the petals are attached. You should see a long tube-like structure with round tips. This structure is the carpel. The lower end of this tube is swollen. This swollen part is the called ovary.<br \/>\n5. Now carefully slice the entire tube lengthwise with the help of a blade. Use a hand lens to observe what is inside the ovary. You will find tiny, ball-like structures called ovules inside the ovary (see the picture alongside).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>Pollination<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma is known as pollination.

Only then fertilization can take place.<br \/>\nPollination is of two types:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Self-pollination<\/strong> In self-pollination, pollen grains are transferred from the anther to the stigma of the same flower.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cross-pollination<\/strong> In cross-pollination, the pollen grains are transferred from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower of the same kind.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-119917\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-3.png\" alt=\"How does a Flowering Plant Reproduce 3\" width=\"654\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-3.png 654w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-3-300x133.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 654px) 100vw, 654px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Activity<\/span> <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Aim:<\/strong> To dissect a flower<br \/>\n<strong>Materials needed:<\/strong> Any flower (e.g., hibiscus), scalpel, glass slides, and a blade for cutting a longitudinal section of ovary.<br \/>\n<strong>Method:<\/strong><br \/>\n1.

Such flowers are small, not brightly coloured, and do not produce nectar (a sweet liquid produced by flowers). Pollen grains are very light so they are easily blown away by the wind. This type of pollination occurs in wheat, rice, and maize.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water<\/strong> Pollination in aquatic plants such as sea grass and Vallisneria is usually carried out by water. Water- pollinated flowers release their pollen grains into the water, and are slowly carried to other flowers by water currents.\n<p><figure style=\"width: 173px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-119919\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-5.png\" alt=\"How does a Flowering Plant Reproduce 5\" width=\"173\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-5.png 173w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-5-161x300.png 161w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 173px) 100vw, 173px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vallisneria<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<li><strong>Insects<\/strong> Many insects visit flowers for nectar. During the process, some pollen stick to the body parts of these insects. When these insects visit another flower, the pollen grains fall on the stigma. Insect-pollinated flowers usually have a sweet smell, brightly coloured petals, and are rich in nectar. Flowers visited by nocturnal (active during night) insects have less showy petals but are often strongly scented. This type of pollination is found in sweet pea, orchids, and jasmine.\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-119920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-6.jpg\" alt=\"How does a Flowering Plant Reproduce 6\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1035\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-6.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-6-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-6-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-6-1024x662.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An insect-pollinated flower<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>Fertilization<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nAfter successful pollination, the stigma secretes nutrients.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 212px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-119921\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-7.png\" alt=\"How does a Flowering Plant Reproduce 7\" width=\"212\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-7.png 212w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/How-does-a-Flowering-Plant-Reproduce-7-185x300.png 185w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fertilization<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ol>\n<li>The pollen grain absorbs these nutrients and starts growing.<\/li>\n<li>A thin tube grows out of the pollen grain.<\/li>\n<li>The pollen tube keeps growing till it reaches the ovule inside the ovary and enters it.<\/li>\n<li>The male gamete is carried inside the pollen tube.
