• Flowers: the reproductive structures of plants
• 1. Stigma
  2. Style
  3. Ovary/Ovules
  4. Anther
  5. Filament
  6. Petal
  7. Sepal

  
• Female anatomy: Pistil
• Male Anatomy: Stamen
• Stigma: sticky, catches pollen (female)
• Style: holds up stigma (female)
• Ovary: Contains ovules, which are the female reproductive part (haploid cell)
• Anther: makes pollen (haploid), (male)
• Filament: holds up anther (male)
• Petal: advertising
• Sepal: protects the bud
• Pollination:

  1. Pollen lands on stigma
  2. Pollen tube grows to an ovule
  3. Male cells swim down and fertilize an ovule
  4. Pollen + ovule = seed (diploid)
  5. Seed matures, ovary grows/swells/ripens
