Text, Questions & Answers

Imagine a vibrant garden, blooming with roses and daisies and lush with ferns and mosses. These plants, flowering and non-flowering, each have unique life cycles. Flowering plants start as seeds, sprouting into seedlings, then growing into mature plants. They then produce flowers, which, after pollination, bear seeds inside fruits, restarting the cycle. Non-flowering plants, like ferns, have an interesting life story too. They start as spores, which grow into a structure called a gametophyte. The gametophyte then produces eggs and sperms. After fertilization, a new sporophyte grows, eventually producing spores again. These cycles play a crucial role in maintaining our planet's biodiversity. Next time you're in a garden, see if you can spot these miraculous processes unfolding!
