1. Sexual Reproduction in Flowers

2. How do plants get fertilized?
Pollination: the transfer of the male gametes to the female ovules.
Pollen grains (male gametes) travel down style to ovules were fertilization happens inside the flower

3. How do flowers get pollinated?
Wind
Insects
Birds
animals

4. Types of Pollination in Flowers

5. Sexual Reproduction in Flowers
Petal: The parts of a flower that are often conspicuously colored. Stamen: The pollen producingpart of a flower, usually with a slender filament supporting the anther. Anther: The part of the stamen where pollen is produced. Pistil: The ovule producingpart of a flower.

6. Male Parts of a Flower: Stamen
Stamen - male reproductive organ of a flower. It produces the pollen. Has two parts:
Anther - the part of a stamen that produces sperm nuclei by meiosis. Sperm nuclei are enclosed by pollen grains.
Stalk (or filament) - Holds anther up.
Pollen – fine, powdery, microscopic grains, each containing a male gamete

7. Female Parts of a Flower: Pistil
Pistil: The ovule producing part of a flower. The ovary often supports a long style, topped by a stigma.
Stigma: The top part of the pistil that has a sticky surface where pollen is deposited and germinates.  Style: long, slender stalk that connects the stigma and the ovary.
Ovary: The enlarged basal portion of the pistil where ovules are produced.

8. Parts of a Flower
Petal: The parts of a flower that are often conspicuously colored.  Receptacle: The part of a flower stalk where the parts of the flower are attached. 
Sepal: The outer parts of the flower (often green and leaf-like) that enclose a developing bud. 
Peduncle: The stalk of a flower. 

9. After fertilization, Ovules becomes Seeds

10. After fertilization Sepal, petals, stamens  wither and drop off
Ovary  Becomes the fruit
Ovary wall  becomes fruit wall
Ovule  seed
Integuments  seed coat
Fertilized egg  embryo

11. Why make a fruit? Seed Dispersal
Attract animals to take fruit, dispersing seeds
Dispersing seeds prevents overcrowding and competition for resources
Allows possibility to colonize new areas
