Modes of Reproduction: Plants can reproduce in two main ways: asexual and sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction does not involve seeds, while sexual reproduction does.

Skip Skip block 166

Vegetative Propagation: This is a type of asexual reproduction where new plants are produced from vegetative parts such as roots, stems, and leaves. For example, rose plants can be propagated from cuttings of their stems.

Skip Skip block 168

Pollination Types: There are two types of pollination: self-pollination, where pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma of the same flower, and cross-pollination, where pollen is transferred between different flowers of the same species.

Skip Skip block 169

Role of Flowers: Flowers are the reproductive parts of plants. They can be unisexual (having either male or female parts) or bisexual (having both male and female parts).

Skip Skip block 170

Pollen Grains: Male gametes are found inside pollen grains, while female gametes are located in the ovule. This is crucial for the process of fertilization.

Skip Skip block 171

Seed Dispersal Mechanisms: Seeds can be dispersed by various agents, including wind, water, and animals. This helps prevent overcrowding and competition for resources among plants.

Skip Skip block 172

Fertilization Process: The fusion of male and female gametes during fertilization results in the formation of a zygote, which eventually develops into an embryo.

Skip Skip block 173

Importance of Seed Dispersal: Seed dispersal is essential for plants to invade new habitats and reduce competition for sunlight, water, and minerals.

Skip Skip block 174

Examples of Asexual Reproduction: Some plants, like potatoes, reproduce asexually through tubers, while others, like bread mould, reproduce through spores.

Bryophyllum's Unique Reproduction: Bryophyllum can reproduce through its leaves, where new plants can grow from the leaf margins, showcasing a fascinating method of vegetative propagation
