Explore the two distinct phases in a plant's life cycle - vegetative and reproductive stages. Learn about essential conditions for germination and the development of flowers, fruits, and seeds. Discover the significance of organs like pistils, stamens, and petals in seed production.
E N D
VEGETATIVE STAGE- includes the growth of roots, stems, and leaves.
REPRODUCTIVE • STAGE- • the development of flowers, fruits and seeds take place.
1.Amount of moisture - which is needed to soften the seed coat and to help in the circulation of food which the seed contains.
2.Oxygen -which when moisture is absorbed, oxygen takes in andcarbon dioxide is given off by the seed.
3.Warmth and air in the soil - needed to germinate seeds like melon, corn beans, cucumber and tomatoes that’s why they are planted at the onset of dry season.

THE REPRODUCTIVE STAGE
A new stage in a plant life that begins production of flowers and ends with maturing of seeds. It is made up of organs like sepals, stamens, pistils, and petals.
Hypocotyls - the part of the embryo that first grows downward into the soil forms the stem of the seedling Epicotyls - the young leaves of the new plant

Pistils – are the female part of the flower which consists of an ovary with an upright extension.
Stamens– compose the male parts of the flower, each of which consists of a supporting filament and an anther where the pollen grain is produced.
Stigma- which lies on top of the style serves as the pollen-receptive surface.
Pollination- a process in which fertilization takes place when a male nucleus in the pollen tube unites with the female nucleus of the ovule.
