A. Sexual vs. Asexual Reproduction
 I. Reproduction

-a biological process in which

new individual
organisms are produced, may it
be sexual or asexual
How do plants
reproduce?
II. Parts of a Plant
A. Vegetative
Parts
1. Receptacle
2. Sepal
3. Calyx
4. Petal
5. Corolla
6. Inflorescence
 FLORAL STALK

Receptacle (torus) – thickened

part of a stem from which the
flower grows

Peduncle – a stalk supporting

the flower
Petal (corolla) – the innermost
whorl surrounding the flowers
reproductive parts. It is usually
brightly colored to attract
pollinators

Sepal (calyx ) – usually a green

leaf-like structure that forms
the outermost floral whorl; it
protects the inner parts of the
flower before it opens.

FLORAL ENVELOPE or
PERIANTH
Inflorescence

cluster of flowers
II. Parts of a Plant:
Flower
B. Reproductive
Parts
1. Stamen
2. Filament
3. Anther
4. Carpel
5. Style
6. Stigma
7. Ovary
8. Ovule
 Stigma – slightly enlarged tip
of the style on which pollen is
deposited at pollination

Style – a long and thin filament

that serves as a passageway for
pollen grains to move from the
stigma to the ovary

Ovary – a swollen basal part of

a pistil which carries the ovule
or eggs (yellow); where
fertilized eggs develop
CARPEL (Gynoecium)
The female reproductive part
of a flower. It is collectively
known as the Pistil.
Anther – where pollens are
formed

Filament – a stalk holding the

pollen at its tip

STAMEN (Androecium)
The male reproductive
part of a flower
Complete Flower: has all the parts described

Gumamela (Hibiscus sp.) Chichirica (Catharanthus roseus)

Incomplete Flower: missing one or more parts
Papaya (Carica papaya)

Staminate flower Pistillate flower

II. Parts of a Plant:
Fruits
Fruits

not only protect the

seeds of plants but
also aid in dispersal;
derived from the
maturation of a
flower’s ovary
II. Parts of a Plant:
Seeds
Seed (mature
ovule)

contain the embryo,

which will eventually
germinate and grow
if properly dispersed
in a favorable
environment.
III. Sexual Reproduction

Involves the
production of male
and female gametes,
Producing gametes
with shared
characteristics from
both parents
Pollination
III. Sexual Reproduction:
Biotic Pollinators
III. Asexual Reproduction

-produces plants that are

genetically identical to the
parent plant because no
mixing of male and female
gametes takes place.
