Types of Reproduction
• Sexual reproduction involves two parents, the
male and the female, that produce reproductive
cells called gametes.

• Asexual reproduction utilize many means other

than the use of gametes. It is a uni-parental
process.

The fusion of a haploid male gamete (spermatozoa) and a haploid female

gamete (ovum) to form a diploid cell, the zygote, is called fertilization.

STAGE 1: Pollination
• Pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma.
• This is due to various agents such as insects, wind, and water.

STAGE 1: Pollination
• It can be self-pollination or cross-pollination

Transfer of pollen grains from the anther Transfer of pollen grains from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower of the same kind.
to the stigmas of the same flower or
another flower of the same plant.

STAGE 2: Pollen Tube Formation

• A pollen tube develops to carry

the pollen downward.
• Pollen travels from the stigma,
down the style, and into the
ovule of the plant.

STAGE 3: Fertilization
• The male gamete (pollen) unites with a female gamete (ovule) to form a zygote.
• The seeds are the embryo of the plant.

STAGE 4: Seed Formation

• The ovule develops into a seed.
• The ovary ripens and forms a fruit. The fruit may contain a single seed or
multiple seeds.

STAGE 5: Seed Dispersal

• The fruit is carried away from the parent plant by wind, animal or expulsion.

STAGE 6: Germination
• If the seed is embedded in the right kind of soil, it will germinate.
A new plant grows out of the seed.
• A stem reaches upward, and roots go downward into the soil.
