(a)Reproduction
3.2 understand that
fertilisation involves the fusion
of a male and female gamete
to produce a zygote that
undergoes cell division and
develops into an embryo
3.1 understand the
differences between sexual
and asexual reproduction
3.3 describe the structures of
an insect-pollinated and a
wind-pollinated flower and
explain how each is adapted
for pollination
Starter:
Sexual and asexual reproduction
On the next slide there are statements about reproduction
Choose which statements apply to which kind of
reproduction on the following slides.

Sexual or Asexual reproduction?
There are two parents and
genetic information is passed
on from both of these to the
offspring

What do all these flowers have
in common?
They are all insect
pollinated
Petals: attract insects
Can you name the
main features
Anthers: produce

What do all these flowers have in common?

Ovule
Male nucleus
Term Definition
Petal Coloured, flag-like structures which attract insects
Stamen The male sex organ – made of the filament and the
anther
Anther Part of the male sex organ – makes pollen
Filament A thin stalk that supports the anther
Carpel The female sex organs – made of the stigma, the style
and the ovary
Stigma Collects pollen
Style Connects the stigma to the ovary
Ovule Found inside the ovary; contains the egg cell
Pollen Grows out of the pollen grain and into the stigma:
tube carries the pollen nucleus down to the egg cell
Can you label the parts and explain how they
are adapted to the type of pollination
B
Wind-pollinated flowers are different in structure because
they do not have to attract insects to them but do need to
be exposed to the wind.
Anthers are
Pollen grains are exposed to the wind
