Name: _________________________ Today we will be learning a bit more about plant reproduction. We will be looking at fruits and flowers.

1. LILY: Examine the pictures of the Lily. Sketch and label the parts of the flower. Which parts are female and which parts are male?

2. SNAPDRAGON: Examine the pictures of the Snapdragon. Sketch and label the parts of the flower: petals, sepals, anther filament, stamen, stigma, style, ovary, pistil

Fertilization, Seed and Fruit Development The pollen, or male gametophyte (gamete-producing plant ) and the ovule, or female gametophyte, represent the sexual generation in the life-cycle of the flowering plant. The pollen may be transferred to the stigma of the same flower or to the stigma of another flower of the same species. In the former case the process is called self-pollination, in the latter case, cross-pollination. On the stigma, the pollen germinates, and produces the male gametes which are transported to the ovule in a pollen tube. One of these male gametes fuses with the female gamete within the ovule. This fusion, called fertilization, marks the beginning of the development of the embryo plant. The tissues of the ovule surrounding the embryo form the seed, while the tissues of the ovary, sometimes with some of the surrounding structures, form the fruit. The fruit is the ripened ovary (ovaries) with the enclosed seeds, if any, and in some cases may include other parts of the parent flower. The characteristics of the fruit are thus closely related to the characteristic of the flower (or flowers), and especially the ovary (or ovaries) from which it was produced.

3. BEAN: Observe your bean and draw a sketch. Carefully cut your bean in half and sketch the insides. Label the following: cotyledon, epicotyl, hypocotyl, radicle

4. APPLE: There are 2 different apples for you to look at. They have been cut in different ways. Sketch and label each one of the following: chambers of the ovary, enlarged hypanthium, pedicel, remains of sepals, stamens, styles, and stigmas, ovary, hypanthium, ovary, mature ovule (seed)

5. Other fruit? Repeat step 4 with any other fruit. Sketch and label parts that you can identify.
