Reproduction in Plants
Across
- 4. This describes the outer covering of fruits that contains air spaces.
- 5. Other than water, plants compete to take in this from the soil.
- 7. Other than stiff spikes, these allows a seed to attach itself to the fur of an animal.
- 11. Seeds are dispersed to reduce the chances of this occurrence.
- 13. They wither and drop off during fruit formation.
- 14. This abiotic factor helps in pollination and fertilisation.
- 15. It attracts animals to move into the flower.
- 17. The male cell which moves down the style carries genetic material in this part.
- 19. What the ovary develops into.
- 20. Flowers pollinated by them are large, brightly-coloured and scented.
Down
- 1. This describes a fruit that attracts animals to eat it.
- 2. The process where the male and female reproductive cells fuse.
- 3. It supports the anther.
- 6. Having this allows a plant to spread out its leaves to trap more light.
- 8. What a seed develops from.
- 9. This is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to stigma.
- 10. This structure helps seeds to stay afloat in air longer.
- 12. Other than being large, the stigma of wind-pollinated plants may be this.
- 16. Seeds which are light with fine hairs are easily lifted by these currents.
- 18. Seeds dispersed in this way have pod-like structures that harden when ripe.
