Reproduction in flowering plants: NECO Biology Past Questions and Answers
What the WAEC syllabus covers in Reproduction in flowering plants
Our summary: Flower structure, pollination, fertilization, fruits and how fruits and seeds are dispersed.
- Arrangements of floral parts of a named insect-pollinated flower and a named wind-pollinated flower
- Structure and function of the male and female parts of a flower
- Pollination in plants: types of pollination (Named examples should be used to illustrate the types of pollination.)
- Features of cross-pollinated and self-pollinated flowers
- Agents of pollination (The features of the flower should be related to the agents of pollination.)
- Kinds of placentation: axile, marginal and parietal
- Process of development of zygote in flowering plants: fertilization (Pollen grains germinated in sucrose solution should be observed, prepared slides or charts showing various stages of embryo development in flowering plants should be observed and drawn.)
- Types of fruits (classification) (Fruits should be classified into dry and fleshy fruits.)
- Structure of fruits (The internal structure of a leguminous fruit, orange, maize and tomato should be examined and drawn.)
- Dispersal of fruits and seeds: agents of dispersal (The following fruits should be studied as examples to show the features that aid their respective methods of dispersal. Sunflower (achene), Combretum, cotton, Crotalaria/bean, Desmodium, Bidens sp., Tridax sp. and Coconut. Distinguishing differences between a fruit and a seed should be mentioned.)
