True or False: All plants reproduce sexually.
False
What are the two main types of reproduction in plants?
Sexual and asexual reproduction.
Fill in the blank: The male reproductive part of a flower is called the _____.
stamen
What is the female reproductive part of a flower called?
Pistil
True or False: Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the stamen to the pistil.
True
What is the role of seeds in plant reproduction?
Seeds contain the embryo and can grow into a new plant.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is a form of asexual reproduction? A) Pollination B) Budding C) Fertilization
B) Budding
What is fertilization in plants?
The fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
Fill in the blank: The process of a seed developing into a new plant is called _____.
germination
What are gametes?
Reproductive cells (sperm and eggs) in plants.
True or False: Flowers are only found in flowering plants.
True
What is the purpose of fruit in flowering plants?
To protect seeds and help in their dispersal.
Multiple Choice: Which part of the flower attracts pollinators? A) Petals B) Stem C) Roots
A) Petals
What is a spore?
A reproductive structure that can develop into a new individual in non-flowering plants.
Fill in the blank: The process of transferring pollen from one flower to another is called _____.
pollination
What is asexual reproduction?
Reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes and results in offspring genetically identical to the parent.
True or False: All plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually.
False
What is the significance of cross-pollination?
It increases genetic diversity among plants.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is NOT a method of seed dispersal? A) Wind B) Water C) Photosynthesis
C) Photosynthesis
What is the role of the ovule in plant reproduction?
It develops into a seed after fertilization.
Fill in the blank: The transfer of pollen from an anther to a stigma is known as _____.
pollination
What is the main advantage of asexual reproduction?
It allows for rapid population increase.
True or False: Self-pollination occurs when pollen from the same flower fertilizes its own ovules.
