    Sexual Reproduction in Plants

    Uploaded by

    Sexual reproduction in plants involves pollination where pollen grains are transported from the anther to the stigma of a flower. Fertilization then occurs when the male and female sex cells fuse. An experiment observed the process of germination and growth in pea plants over several weeks, from the splitting of the testa and emergence of the radicle and plumule, to the opening of cotyledons and leaves and eventually the blossoming of flowers and formation of peas. Asexual reproduction was also demonstrated using potatoes, where tubers grow from the parent potato underground and each tuber can produce a new plant without fertilization.

    What is sexual reproduction? flower


    Flowering plants reproduce by sexual
    reproduction . Pollination takes place when the pollen grains transports to the stigma. After pollination comes then Fertilization which is the fusion of male sex cells and the female sex cells.

    What's needed?

    Sexual Reproduction in Plants


    Day 1
    Getting the process of germination started

    Day 2
    Testa split ,the radicle grew down into
    the soil along with some small lateral root .

    Day 3
    Plumule , started to
    emerge above the soil , the testa slipped off , along with the cotyledon above the soil .

    Day 4
    The cotyledon open ,
    inside was leaves which closed up .

    Day 5
    No changes were
    made , soil was sprinkled .

    Day 6

    Stem grew taller, along with cotyledon at the side of the stem and leaves opened.

    Day 7

    A new bud of leaves opened ,


    first leaves grew bigger .

    3 Days later
    New batch of leaves
    popped up , it rained and the soil was moist and the leaves had a lush green colour . Leaves grew larger along with new leaves .

    8 Days Later
    The plant developed
    with more leaves. The soil was moist after the rain fell.

    5 Days later
    The flower blossomed
    on the plant . The soil had a dark rich colour . The plant stretched out with new leaves and yellow and white flower.

    7 Days later
    A tiny green fruit
    appeared on the plant. At the tip of the fruit was a flower.

    9 Days Later
    The previous tiny fruit
    enlarged into a large green pea.

    Day 1
    Potato was placed

    into a hole in the soil. Then covered up with soil. Getting the process of germination started .

    What is asexual reproduction?

    Plants such as Irish

    potato reproduce without gamete [ special reproductive cells.] This is called asexual reproduction. Irish potato produce swollen underground stems call tubers. Each tuber produce a new plant.

    3 Days Later
    Potato starting to grow.
    New tubers are coming out.

    Tubers grow from top of

    potato slowly. Sprouts develop from eyes.

    Other way to allow potato tubers to spring out.


    Potatoes are so easy

    to grow that they can even grow on kitchen counters.

    5 Days Later
    The shoot started to
    emerge from the soil. The leaves were lush green and it was big.

    2 Days Later
    2 days later I used

    some small strips of straws after mulching the soil. I used I the straws to give the plant nutrients to the damp soil.

    A Week Later
    I took out the straws
    and damp the soil. The plant developed along with some new leaves. It was bigger than the previous page.
