Explain the various modes of reprduction in plants
Answers
Answer:
Sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction
Explanation:
The modes of plant reproduction can be majorly classified as:
Asexual mode of reproduction
Sexual mode of reproduction In this mode of reproduction, plants can give rise to new plants without the involvement of male and female reproductive parts. In this mode, plants do not produce fruits and seeds. Asexual reproduction in plants can occur in a variety of forms:
Vegetative Propagation – A new plants are developed from a portion of the main plant ‘s body. It can be reproduced both naturally as well as by the artificial method of vegetative propagation. For example- Onion bulbs are produced natural propagation. Rose and banana plants are produced are artificial methods of propagation
Budding – In this mode of asexual reproduction new plants grow from an outgrowth or bud in the plant body.
Fragmentation – A new plants are developed from fragments of the parent plant.
Apomixis – it is the type of asexual reproduction in which seeds are formed and the embryo is developed without the fusion of male and female gametes. Citrus trees commonly use this method of asexual reproduction by using their seeds.
Sexual Reproduction
This mode of reproduction involves the production of new plants through embryos developed by fusion of male and female gametes. In sexual reproduction, a fusion of male and female gametes produces fruits that contain seeds. The seeds give rise to new plants.
A flower is the reproductive part of a plant which can either be unisexual or bisexual. Stamen is male reproductive part and pistil is a female reproductive part of a flower.
Sexual reproduction divided it into three stages:
Pollination
A process in which the pollen grains are transferred across the anther to the stigma of the same flower or to flowers different plants. There are two types of pollination- self-pollination, and cross-pollination.
Zygote formation
After the transfer of pollen grains, the male gamete is transferred down through the style of the pistil to the ovary where the male gamete is fused with female gamete to form a zygote.
Fruit and seed formation
After fertilization, a formed zygote is developed into an embryo. The ovary develops into fruit and ovules into seeds.
