Explanations: answer key for all 10 questions

Q1: What is the male part of a flower that makes pollen?
Answer: Stamen
It includes the anther and filament.
Q2: What is the female part of a flower?
Answer: Pistil (carpel)
It includes the stigma, style and ovary.
Q3: What is pollination?
Answer: Transfer of pollen to a stigma
Bees, wind and birds help.
Q4: Why do many flowers have bright petals and nectar?
Answer: To attract pollinators
Pollinators carry pollen between flowers.
Q5: Which plants are usually wind-pollinated?
Answer: Grasses
Their flowers are small and plain.
Q6: What does a fruit develop from?
Answer: The flower's ovary
Tomatoes and cucumbers are fruits.
Q7: How are dandelion seeds dispersed?
Answer: By wind
Their parachutes float far.
Q8: Which plants reproduce by spores instead of seeds?
Answer: Ferns and mosses
Spores are found under fern fronds.
Q9: How do strawberry plants spread without seeds?
Answer: Runners
New plants grow where runners touch soil.
Q10: What does a seed need to germinate?
Answer: Water, warmth and oxygen
Many seeds sprout in darkness.

Reproduction In Plants Quiz – How Plants Make New Plants

Plants reproduce in two main ways. Sexual reproduction uses flowers, pollen and seeds, while asexual reproduction creates copies through runners, bulbs, tubers or cuttings.

In flowering plants, pollen travels from stamens to the stigma, often carried by bees, butterflies, birds, bats or wind. After fertilization, the ovary becomes a fruit that protects seeds. Seeds spread by wind, water, animals or even explosions.

Older plant groups like ferns and mosses use spores instead of seeds. Understanding plant reproduction helps farmers breed better crops and protect pollinators, which are vital for much of our food supply.
