    IGCSE Biology Worksheet Reproduction in Plants Marks: 40


    1. Most sorghum flowers are self-pollinated and then self-fertilised.
    (i) State the meanings of the terms pollination and fertilisation.
    Pollination

    fertilisation

    [2]
    (ii) Describe two implications of self-pollination.
    1
    2

    [2]
    (iii) Describe the events that occur in flowering plants after fertilisation to form a seed.

    [4]
    2. Many flowering plants can reproduce sexually and asexually.
    (a) (i) Define the term asexual reproduction.

    [2]
    (ii) State one advantage and one disadvantage of asexual reproduction for flowering plants.
    advantage
    disadvantage

    [2]
    (b) Fig. 2.1 shows a potato plant, Solanum tuberosum, grown from a tuber. The tubers that potato
    plants are grown from are commonly referred to as seed potatoes.
    (i) Define the term growth.

    [2]
    (ii) Potatoes can reproduce asexually by means of tubers. The parent plant produces
    underground stems, which eventually form tubers.
    With reference to Fig. 2.1, describe how tubers are formed from the underground stems
    in potatoes.

    [3]
    3. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma. Pollen can be transferred to
    the stigma by being carried by the wind or by animals.
    Fig. 3.1 shows a photograph of a wind-pollinated flowering plant.

    (i) State two structural adaptations of a flower for wind-pollination.


    1
    2
    [2]
    (ii) State how self-pollination differs from cross-pollination.

    [1]
    (iii) Suggest one reason why self-pollination might be advantageous to a population of
    plants.

    [1]
    4. Use words from the following list to complete the passage about plant reproduction.
    You may use each word once, more than once or not at all.
    Asexual, cotyledon, diploid, fertilization, gamete, haploid, pollination, sexual, testa, zygote
    Living organisms must reproduce to replace organisms which die, and to supply more
    organisms to occupy new environments. Genetically identical offspring are produced from a single parent
    during the process of .................................... reproduction. During ............................... reproduction, a
    special cell called a ................................ is made by one parent and fuses with a .....................................
    from another parent. This process of fusion is called .................................. and may eventually lead to the
    development of a seed. [3]

    5. Name the product of meiosis that is formed in anthers.


    [1]
    6. Fig. 6.1 shows an experiment to investigate the conditions needed for germination.
    Tubes A, B, C and D are at room temperature and tube E is in a freezer.

    (a) State three of the environmental conditions this experiment is investigating.


    1.
    2.
    3. [3]
    (b) Predict in which two tubes the seeds will germinate.

    [2]
    (c) Nuclear and cell division happen during germination.
    (i) Name the type of nuclear division that takes place during the growth of a seedling.

    [1]
    (ii) State how the number of chromosomes in each of the new cells compares with the
    number of chromosomes in the original cells.

    [1]
    (d) Fig. 6.2 shows the changes in the dry mass of a broad been seed in the first five days
    after planting.

    Describe and suggest an explanation for the changes that happen to the dry mass of
    the seed in the first five days after planting.

    [3]
    7. (a) (i) Name the part of a flower where pollination happens.

    [1]
    (ii) Name the part of a flower where fertilisation happens.

    [1]
    (b) Sexual reproduction in flowers results in the production of seeds and fruits. From which
    part of a flower is each of these formed?
    seed
    fruit [2]
    8. What does dormant means?
    [1]
