    Flowering plants reproduce in two steps. These two steps include the process of pollination . Pollination is when the pollen of the flower is going through flower to reach the stigma. Also when pollination happens between two species they can create to hybrid offsprings or plants. The second step of the process is the flower of extra seeds disperse to another breeding sight or growing site. That’s how I would explain how the flowering plants reproduce.

A plant fertilizes sexually, just like all other animals. They go through the process of meiosis,the process that reduces the number of chromosomes by half. The plants have both the male reproductive organs and the female reproductive organs. The stamen would release pollen grains in the air, setting up to be carried by another insect. The insect would carry the pollen to another flower. They would place the pollen grain onto the stigma of the carpel, where it would fall down the pollen tube. Where the sperm would join with the egg inside the ovary inside an ovule. This is the same for all of the ovules inside the ovary. After the fertilization happens, the ovules develops into a seed, containing an baby . Finally, when it matures it turns into a fruit, the seeds will grow off the fruit.

This is an anther. This is male reproductive system of the flower. The anther is a part of the Statement. Its role in the angiosperm is to release the pollen grains in the air, for hopes of being set on a stigma of a carpel of another flower and to make a seed/embryo.

This is the Stigma of the flower( i'm sorry for the angle of the picture). It's part of the female reproductive system of the flower. It's used as the entry point for the pollen. Where it is taken down the pollen tube inside the Style of the Carpel. The pollen tube goes down to the Ovary into the Ovules.this where the baby/embryo
