    Sexual reproduction in plants involves the formation and fusion of gametes. It takes place in flowers, which are the site of sexual reproduction. Flowers contain both male and female reproductive structures. The male structure is the stamen, which contains the anther that produces pollen grains through meiosis in microspore mother cells. The anther then dehisces to release the pollen for fertilization.

    To a biologist, flowers are morphological and embryological marvels and

    site of sexual reproduction.

    All flowering plants show sexual reproduction.

    Flowering plants are heterosporous plant.

    Sexual
    Reproduction

    Involves the formation and fusion of gametes.

    It is a complex and slower process as compared to asexual reproduction.

    Events of sexual reproduction may be categorised into:

    1 Pre-fertilisation

    2 Fertilisation

    3 Post-fertilisation events.
