IBDP Biology- Plant Reproduction (1/2)

Topic 9- Plants

· IBDP BIOLOGY,IB,Plants

In this IBDP Biology blog post, this is a part one of the different processes in which plant can reproduce through three main ways, let's get to it!

Plant Sexual Reproduction

Female Gametes: Ovules in the Ovaries of the flower

Male Gametes: Pollen grains produced by Anters

Plant Reproduction depends on 3 different processes:

  • Pollination
  • Fertilzation
  • Seed Dispersal 

Pollination 

Pollination: Transfer of pollen containing male gametes from an anther to a stigma

  • Self pollination: Pollen from the anther from the same plant falls upon its own stigma

This method decreases genetic variation

  • Cross-pollination: Pollen is carried from the anther of one plant to the stigma of a different plant 

of the same species

This method is preffered as it increases genetic variation within the second generation

Flowering plants can rely on wind or water for pollenation but most flowers use animals (pollenators):

  • Birds
  • Bats
  • Insects such as Bees

Mutualism: Close association between two organisms where both orgamisms benefit from the relationship: animal rewarded with food (nectar), the plant with successful pollenation  

That's all for part 1!
