REPRODUCTION IN PLANTS

I .Fill in the blanks:


(a) Production of new individuals from the vegetative part of parent is called
___________.
(b) A flower may have either male or female reproductive parts. Such a flower is
called _______.
(c) The transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the same or of
another flower of the same kind is known as __________.
(d) The fusion of male and female gametes is termed as ____________ .
(e) Seed dispersal takes place by means of ________ and __________.
Ans. (a) vegetative reproduction (b) unisexual flower (c) pollination (d) fertilization
(e) wind, water

II. Answer the following questions :

1. Explain what you understand by sexual reproduction.

Ans. Sexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in plants. In sexual


reproduction male gametes and female gametes fuse together with each other
to form a zygote which grows into a new plant/organism.

Q.2. State the main difference between asexual and sexual reproduction.
Ans.
Q.3.Sketch the reproductive parts of a flower.
Ans.
Q.4.Explain the difference between self-pollination and cross-pollination
Ans.

Q.5.How does the process of fertilization take place in flowers?

Ans. The process of fusion of male and female gametes (to form a zygote) is called
fertilisation. The zygote develops into an embryo, and the embryo undergoes mitotic
cell division to form seeds.

Q.6.Describe the various ways by which seeds are dispersed


Ans. The various ways by which seeds are dispersed are:

(a) Wind
(b) Water
(c) Insects
(d) Animals
(e) Birds
The seeds which are lighter in weight and smaller in size are taken by the wind. The
seeds which can float are taken by water. Seeds with spines are taken by animals
and birds.
Q.7.Match items in Column I with those in Column II

Ans

Q.8. Tick (✓) the correct answer:

(a) The reproductive part of a plant is the


(i) leaf (ii) stem (iii) root (iv) flower

(b) The process of fusion of the male and the female gametes is called
(i) fertilisation (ii) pollination (iii) reproduction (iv) seed formation

c) Mature ovary forms the


(i) seed (ii) stamen (iii) pistil (iv) fruit
(d) A spore producing plant is
(i) rose (ii) bread mould (iii) potato (iv) ginger

(e) Bryophyllum can be reproduced by its


(i) stem (ii) leaves (iii) roots (iv) flower

Ans.(a) (iv) flower (b) (i) fertilisation (c) (iv) fruit (d) (ii) bread mould (e) (ii) leaves
