Draw a labelled diagram of a flower showing its reproductive parts. Describe pollination and fertilisation, and say what the ovule and the ovary become.

1. 1 · Open in one line. The flower is the reproductive organ of a flowering plant.
2. 2 · Name the parts. The stamen (anther and filament) is male; the pistil (stigma, style and ovary with ovules) is female; sepals protect and petals attract.
3. 3 · Pollination. Pollen moves from the anther to the stigma: self-pollination within one flower, or cross-pollination to another plant by wind, water or insects.
4. 4 · Fertilisation. A pollen tube grows down the style; the pollen nucleus fuses with the egg nucleus in the ovule.
5. 5 · After fertilisation.
   • Ovule → seed.
   • Ovary → fruit.
   • Seeds are dispersed and germinate into new plants.
6. 6 · Draw the flower. [Diagram: sepal, petal, stamen (anther, filament), pistil (stigma, style, ovary, ovules), pollen tube]
7. 7 · Link to daily life. Bees in a mustard field carry pollen from flower to flower.
8. 8 · Close in one line. So pollination and fertilisation turn a flower into seeds for the next generation.

Scoring tip: Group your labels: anther and filament under stamen; stigma, style and ovary under pistil.
