A strain of plants has a mean height of 24 cm. A second strain ofthe same species from a different geographical region also has a mean height of 24 cm. When plants from the two strains arecrossed together, the F1 plants are the same height as the parentplants. However, the F2 generation shows a wide range ofheights; the majority are like the P1 and F1 plants, but approximately4 of 1000 are only 12 cm high, and about 4 of 1000 are36 cm high.

Angiosperm Reproduction

The process of sexual reproduction in flowering plants is known as angiosperm reproduction. In flowering plants, reproduction begins with pollination, or the transfer of male gametes (pollen) from the male reproductive organ (anther) to the female reproductive organ (pistil), and ends with fertilization of the female gametes (egg), which produces a zygote, which then grows to become a mature plant.
