Reproduction in Plants
• Plants reproduce in two modes just
like animals: sexual and sexual.
Sexual Reproduction
• Is the generation of genetically varied offspring from two
parents.
Asexual Reproduction
• Occurs when a produces offspring is genetically identical to the
sole parent.
Asexual Reproduction in Plants
• Asexual reproduction in plants refers to the process by which
new plants are generated without the involvement of gametes
(sex cells) or fertilization.
• Stigma: The stigma is the receptive surface at the top of the pistil where
pollen grains land during pollination.
• Style: The style is a slender tube-like structure that connects the stigma to
the ovary. It provides a pathway for pollen tubes to grow down to the ovules.
• Ovary: The ovary is the swollen base of the pistil that contains ovules. After
fertilization, the ovary develops into a fruit enclosing the seeds.
• Sepals: Sepals are leaf-like structures at the base of the flower that
protect the developing flower bud. They may also play a role in
attracting pollinators.

-The midpiece of the sperm cell contains mitochondria, which provide energy for
the sperm's movement (motility).
3. Tail (Flagellum)
- The tail, or flagellum, is a long, whip-like structure that propels the sperm forward
through the female reproductive tract
