Do plants need flowers to produce seeds?

Plants produce flowers to make seeds. To make a seed a flower must be pollinated. Pollen from the male part of one flower travels to the female part of another flower where the seeds are made. Most, but not all plants, have both male and female parts inside one flower.

Can seeds develop without the flower being pollinated?

Flowers must rely on vectors to move pollen. Successful fertilization of the flower and the growth of seeds and fruit; or, A plant can be only partially fertilized, in which the fruit and/or seeds do not fully develop; or, The plant can completely fail to be pollinated, and may not reproduce at all.

How are seeds produced?

Seeds are the result of plant reproduction. When pollen lands on the flower’s stigma, it germinates and forms a pollen tube, which then quickly grows towards the plant’s ovary. Once it finds an ovule, the pollen tube bursts to release sperm cells, which fertilize the ovule and initiate seed formation.

What protects the seed of a plant?

coat
Seeds are protected by a coat. This coat can be thin or thick and hard. Thin coats don’t protect the embryo well. But thick coats can let the embryo survive some tough conditions.

What would happen to flowers without bees?

Other plants may utilize a variety of pollinators, but many are most successfully pollinated by bees. Without bees, they would set fewer seeds and would have lower reproductive success. Without bees, the availability and diversity of fresh produce would decline substantially, and human nutrition would likely suffer.

How do plants that do not produce seeds reproduce?

Some plants don’t produce flowers and seeds. Plants such as ferns and mosses are called nonflowering plants and produce spores instead of seeds. There is also another group called the Fungi, that include mushrooms, and these also reproduce by spores.

Does Thallophyta produce seeds?

In bryophytes and pteridophytes, zygote produces sporophyte and there is no seed formation. In thallophyte, reproduction is mainly asexual and when sexual it is isogamous, anisogamous or oogamous.

Are there any plants that do not produce seeds?

Non-flowering plants do not produce seeds; rather they reproduce in alternative ways, such as producing spores.

Can you buy seeds from a flowering plant?

Flowering plants do produce seeds. And you can buy the seeds to grow flowering plants in any garden supply catalog. You can stress a flowering plant wich makes seeds in the flowers.

Why are only female plants able to produce seeds?

Only female plants of some species produce seeds. Also some plants have flowers that are sterile because they’ve been propagated by cuttings for so long (like lemongrass).

Is it normal for a plant to produce seeds?

Yes, it happens – but its not a “normal part of flowering”, at all. The plant is telling u that its parents had a predispositon to produce hermies. Keep an eye out, dude. First, seed pods are not bad, in fact they are very, very good.

There are some non-flowering plants that don’t produce seeds. Instead, they use spores to reproduce. Spore producing plants include plants such as mosses and ferns. Spores are tiny organisms that usually contain only a single cell. Plants that make spores produce huge numbers of them.
