New plants can grow from the roots, leaves, or stems of a parent plant. This is an example of ____________ reproduction.

asexual

Spores that will develop into __________.

gametophytes

The female reproductive structure is the

pistil

Some angiosperms are pollinated by the wind, but most rely on animals called

pollinators

Which seeds have the greatest chance of survival?

Those far from the parent plant

Pollen is produced in the _________ in flowers.

anther

How are seeds dispersed?

by animals eating the fruit and passing it through their digestive system.

A plant’s life cycle includes two different stages:

sporophyte and gametophyte

The reproductive structures of gymnosperms are

cones

All gymnosperms have

cones and unprotected seeds

All angiosperms produce

flowers and fruits that contain seeds.

The male reproductive parts of the flower

stamen

What is fertilization?

occurs when a sperm cell unites with an egg cell to produce a new organism.

Colorful, pleasantly-scented petals surround the plant’s reproductive organs to

attract pollinators

In angiosperms, gametophytes develop inside

flowers

During the gametophyte stage, male and female gametophytes produce sex cells that will be involved in the process of

fertilization

What is a fruit?

the ripened ovary enclosing one or more seeds
