Exam points
Identify anthers, stigmas, ovaries and ovules, and locate male and female gametes in pollen and ovules.
Distinguish pollen transfer from anther to stigma (pollination) from fusion of male and female gametes (fertilization).
Trace the pollen tube to the ovule, then link fertilization with embryo formation inside the seed.
IB Biology HL D3.1.8 Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants Questions question 1
[Maximum number: 3]
Angiospermophyta are vascular flowering plants.
The flowers of angiospermophyta are used for sexual reproduction. Outline three processes required for successful reproduction of angiospermophyta.
a. meiosis / production of male and female gametes b. pollination / transfer of pollen from anther to stigma c. fertilization happens after pollination / fertilisation is joining of gametes d. seed dispersal / spread of seeds to new locations
