How plants reproduce


Reproduction in flowering plants begins with pollination, the transfer of pollen from anther to stigma on the same flower or to the stigma of another flower on the same plant (self-pollination), or from anther on one plant to the stigma of another plant (cross-pollination). Once the pollen grain lodges on the stigma, a pollen tube grows from the pollen grain to an ovule. Two sperm nuclei then pass through the pollen tube. One of them unites with the egg nucleus and produces a zygote. The other sperm nucleus unites with two polar nuclei to produce an endosperm nucleus. The fertilized ovule develops into a seed.
This is the flower we chose to get for our dissection its is from the broccoli plant outside.

 this is aidan looking at the plant before our dissection.
Here you can see the stigma the male reproductive system and if you look close enough you can see pollen.


This is the female part of the plant that houses the gametes and takes pollen.


This is the ovaries and the green blob next to is the the gamete of the female reproductive system.
