Key Topics to Revise
1
Modes of Reproduction
- Reproduction ensures the continuation of species and replaces dead individuals.
- Three main modes: Vegetative, Asexual, and Sexual reproduction.
- Vegetative and asexual reproduction involve one parent and produce genetically identical offspring (clones).
2
Reproduction in Lower Plants
- Chlamydomonas reproduces asexually by zoospores, aplanospores, and hypnospores depending on water availability.
- Sexual reproduction in Chlamydomonas occurs via isogamy, anisogamy, or oogamy.
- Meiosis occurs in the zygote stage, producing haploid zoospores.
3
Sexual Reproduction in Angiosperms
- Flower is the reproductive organ of angiosperms.
- Essential whorls: Androecium (male) and Gynoecium (female); non-essential: Calyx and Corolla.
- Stamen consists of filament and anther; anther contains microsporangia where pollen grains develop.
4
Pollination and Fertilization
- Pollination: Transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma.
- Types: Self-pollination (same flower) and cross-pollination (different flowers of same species).
- Agents: Wind (anemophily), insects (entomophily), water (hydrophily), animals (zoophily).
