Chapter 40, Problem 9TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The flower represents the reproductive part of a plant. The male reproductive system is called “androecium” and the female reproductive system is known as “gynoecium”. The fusion of male and female gametes is called fertilization. After the process of fertilization, zygote and endosperm get produced.
