Step 1: Understand Each Term

✔ Match: – the female parts of the flower

3. Stamen
→ The male reproductive part of the flower.
✔ Match: – the male parts of the flower

4. Petal
→ Usually the brightly coloured parts of the flower (attract pollinators).
✔ Match: – usually the brightly coloured parts of the flower

5. Stigma
→ The sticky top part of the carpel that catches pollen.
✔ Match: – the sticky part that catches pollen grains during pollination

6. Pollination
→ The transfer of pollen from the stamen to the stigma.
✔ Match: – the transfer of pollen from the stamen to the stigma

7. Ovary
→ Contains ovules; after fertilisation, it develops into fruit.
✔ Match: – this protects the ovule and matures to become fruit

8. Pollen
→ Tiny grains produced by the stamen; usually yellow.
✔ Match: – tiny grains, usually yellow in colour

9. Dispersal
