Flower -- plant structure specialized for reproduction -- carries on the processes of meiosis and fertilization Chief Flower structures: sepals : leafy green structures at the base of a flower -- support and protect it petals : colored parts inside the sepals -- attract insects stamen : ring of structures within the corolla which forms the male reproductive organ -- consists of an anther and a filament anther : pollen box in which pollen grains are formed -- knob shaped (produce sperm) filamen t: supports the anther pistil : female reproductive organ -- consists of three parts stigma : at the top of the pistil -- is sticky and hairy -- thus is adapted to catch and hold pollen style : tubelike connection between the stigma and the ovary ovary : enlarged part of the pistil attached to the receptacle (stem tip on which the flower rests) -- contains the ovules (makes eggs) ovules : small white structures within the walls of the ovary -- produces the plant egg cells ***Some flowers only contain stamens while others only contain pistils.
