Plant reproduction and propagation - 10 Slides

Plant reproduction generally occurs when an eggcell (female) and a spermatic cell (male) meet, as happens in the majority of animals. Unlike animals, plants do not couple. With the exception of bacteria and some unicellular algae which reproduce by division, that is by dividing into two parts, plants need to find some sort of system so as to let eggs and sperms meet. Learn more with this slide set and learn to recognize eggs, pollen granules, and more!
