Explain sexual reproduction in plants.

Solution
- In sexually reproducing plants, flowers function as the reproductive organs.
- In flowers, male organ is the stamen and female organ is the carpel.
- Flowers which have both the male and female organs i.e. stamens and carpels are called bisexual flowers whereas flowers which have either male or female organs are called unisexual.
- Male gametes called pollen grains are produced by stamen, and carpels produce female gametes called ovules or egg cells inside ovaries.
- Fertilization takes place in the ovule where the egg cell and pollen grain fuse.
- This fertilized egg cell later develops into an embryo and the entire ovule gets converted into a seed.
- Under favourable conditions, the seed germinates to give rise to a new plant.
