1. Pollination
1.1. 1. Takes place in adult plant
1.2. 2. Transfer of pollen grain from anther of a flower to stigma of flower between same kind by wind or animals.
1.3. 3. Types of pollination
1.3.1. a. Wind pollination
1.3.1.1. i. Anthers and stigma hanging out of flowers
1.3.1.2. ii. Light pollen grains
1.3.1.3. iii. Flower doesn't have nectar
1.3.1.4. iv. Flower is non scented and dull
1.3.2. b. Animal pollination
1.3.2.1. i. Anther and stigma are found inside flower

1.3.2.3. iii. Flower has nectar
1.3.2.4. iv. Flower is scented and has brightly coloured petals
2. Fertilisation
2.1. 1. Takes place in adult plant
2.2. 2. Male reproductive cell (in pollen grain) fuses with egg cell (in ovule)
3. Parts of flower
3.1. 1. Female parts
3.1.1. a. Ovary

3.1.1.2. ii. becomes fruit after fertilisation
3.1.1.3. iii. fertilisation takes place here
3.1.2. b. Ovules
3.1.2.1. i. contains egg cell
3.1.2.2. ii. become seeds after fertilisation
3.1.3. c. Stigma
