Answer

The sexual reproduction in plants takes place in the following steps:
  1. The male organ of flower called ‘stamen’ makes the male gametes of the flower. These male gametes are present in pollen grains.
  2. The female organ of a flower called ‘carpel’ makes the female gametes present in the ovules and are called ova or egg.
  3. The male gametes present in the pollen grains fertilises the female gametes or egg cells present in the ovules.
  4. The fertilised egg cells grow within ovules and become seeds.
  5. The seeds produce new plants on germination.
