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.

Question

In the Kotukutuku plant, *Fuchsia excorticata*, why do pollinated flowers remain attached to the plant for several days after pollination occurs and nectar is no longer produced?

- Size of flower and pollination (selected)
- Annual versus perennial reproduction
- Time and expense to grow the pollen tube outweighs the cost of maintaining the flower on the tree
- Size of flower and number of flowers on inflorescence

In this educational scenario, we see a multiple-choice question exploring the botanical behavior of the Kotukutuku plant. This question aims to understand why pollinated flowers remain attached after pollination and nectar production ceases, highlighting various biological and reproductive strategies.

The drooping, bell-like flower Aquilegia canadensis is adapted for cross-pollination. However, if the plant has not been pollinated previously, self-pollination can occur. However, if cross pollination occurs after self-pollination takes place, the pollen from cross pollination reaches the style before the pollen from self-pollination. Using course concepts and vocabulary 1) Provide a reasoning for this phenomenon. 2) Would this adaptation for reproduction be beneficial for the plant?
