Note on Flower by the following points
Pollination, reproduction and gamates
Answers
• Flowers which use autogamy consist of
several adaptations in the structure of a
flower to facilitate this process. It occurs
without external pollinating agents.
• When flower opens to expose its sex
organs, it is called Chasmogamous.
• The contrivances (a condition that leads
to) favour self pollination are- Bisexuality,
Homogamy and Cleistogamy.
• Homogamy : When anther and stigma of
a flower become mature at the same time,
called homogamy.
• Some flowers are self pollinated
even before the opening of flower.
Such condition is called cleistogamy.
Underground flowers in some plants
which exhibit cleistogamy are never
opened e.g. Commelina benghalensis.
• Plants like Viola, Commelina can produce
both chasmogamous and cleistogamous
flowers on the same plant.
Answer:
POLLINATION:THE TRANSFER OF POLLEN GRAIN FROM ANTHER TO STIGMA IS CALLED POLLINATION.
REPRODUCTION:THE PROCESS BY A YOUNG ONES PRODUCE A BABY OF OWN KINDS IS CALLED REPRODUCTION
GAMETES:IT IS A CELL WHICH IS USED DURING REPRODUCTION TO FORM ZYGOTE.
