Whai is sexual reproduction in plants

Key parts involved

• Stamen (male part)
  Produces pollen grains that contain male gametes.
• Pistil/Carpel (female part)
  Includes stigma, style, and ovary. The ovary contains ovules (female gametes).

Main steps of sexual reproduction

1. Pollination
   Transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma.
   It can be done by wind, water, or animals like insects.
2. Fertilization
   After pollination, a pollen tube grows down the style to the ovary.
   The male gamete travels through this tube and fuses with the female gamete in the ovule.
   This fusion is called fertilization.
3. Seed and fruit formation
   • The fertilized ovule becomes a seed
   • The ovary develops into a fruit

In simple terms

Sexual reproduction in flowering plants is the process where pollen (male) meets the ovule (female), they fuse, and this leads to the formation of seeds that grow into new plants.

If you want, I can explain it in a shorter exam-style answer or with a labeled diagram.
