Reproduction in Plants - Chapter Wise CBSE Solved Question and Answer Based On NCERT
Long Q&A:
Q1: Explain along with a diagram reproduction through spore formation in fungus.
View Answer
Ans:
Fungus reproduces by means of spores. Spores are covered by a protective hard coat. Spores can survive in extreme conditions like high temperature and low humidity because of the protective hard coat.
Q2: Explain sexual reproduction in plants.
View Answer
Ans:
In sexual reproduction, new plants are obtained from seeds. The flowers are the reproductive parts of a plant. The stamens are the male reproductive part and the pistil is the female reproductive part. A pistil consists of stigma, style and ovary. The ovary contains one or more ovules. The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a flower is called pollination. The female gamete or the egg is formed in an ovule. In sexual reproduction a male and a female gamete fuse to form a zygote. The process of fusion of male and female gametes (to form a zygote) is called fertilisation. The zygote develops into an embryo. After fertilisation, the ovary grows into a fruit and other parts of the flower fall off. The fruit is the ripened ovary. The seeds develop from the ovules. The seed contains an embryo enclosed in a protective seed coat. Seeds and fruits of plants are carried away by wind, water and animals and reproduced again on the grounds.
