List of formula in sexual reproduction in flowering plants
Answers
Sex is that process by which plants and animals produced a new baby.
Flower is a modified stem which functions as a reproductive organ and produces ova and/or pollen
The flower is commonly borne on short or long stalk called the pedicel. It has an upper swollen region known as receptacle (thalamus or torus).
A typical angiospermic flower consists of four whorls of floral appendages attached on the receptacle: calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoecium.
(i) Calyx: It is the outermost whorl of the flower. It is composed of leaf like green sepals. The sepals are essentially green in colour but in some cases they are coloured like petals. Such a condition of calyx is called petaloid.
(ii) Corolla: This is the second whorl of the flower and consists of a number of petals. Petals are generally brightly coloured and sometimes fragrant which make the flower to become attractive.
