Across
- 2. the process where a seed begins to develop into a new plant.
- 6. the cell formed after the fusion of gametes during fertilization.
- 7. the sticky surface that receives pollen grains during pollination.
- 9. the fusion of male and female gametes forming a zygote.
- 11. the transfer of pollen from anther to stigma.
- 12. an insect pollinator attracted to brightly coloured fragrant flowers.
- 16. the flower structure that contains ovules and develops into a fruit after fertilization.
- 18. when pollen is transferred to a flower on a different plant of the same species.
- 20. brightly coloured structure that attracts pollinators.
- 21. an insect pollinator that collects nectar and transfers pollen between flowers.
- 23. produces sugary liquid to attract insects.
- 24. a nocturnal pollinator that visits large pale or white flowers at night.
Down
- 1. when pollen from the same flower fertilizes the ovule.
- 3. leaf like structures that protect the flower bud.
- 4. the structure that develops from the ovary and protects or helps disperse seeds.
- 5. the female reproductive structure of the flower including stigma style and ovary.
- 8. flowers adapted with bright petals scent and sticky pollen grains.
- 10. flowers adapted with feathery stigma and light smooth pollen.
- 13. a tube that grows from a pollen grain down to the ovule.
- 14. the male reproductive part of the flower made of anther and filament.
- 15. the stalk that holds the anther.
- 17. the part of the stamen where pollen grains are produced.
- 19. contains the female gamete and becomes a seed after fertilization.
- 22. the young plant inside a seed.
