Germination
Plant Development
Fertilization
Seed production
1. Germination
Seeds are dispersed from parent plant (wind, water,
animals):
a. they can lay dormant or
b. they can grow immediately if conditions are
ideal.
 Early stage of seed growth known as germination.
 Roots grow downward and stem and leaves grow
upward.

2. Plant Development

Over time, the seed grows into a mature plant
with the structures necessary (male and female
reproductive parts) to produce more plants.
3. Fertilization



Pollen is produced in the Stamen of a flower.
Pollen is transferred from stamen to pistil
(pollination)
Pollen enters the ovule, located in the ovary
leading to fertilization!
Fertilization
4. Seed Production



One’s the ovule is fertilized, it develops into a
seed!
Fruit develop to protect the seed.
Seeds are structures that contain the young
embryo surrounded by the seed coat.
