CLIL: Science: Reproduction in plants www.Cryp2Day.com موقع مذكرات جاهزة للطباعة Read the text. Do all plants produce offspring in the same way? We know that animals have offspring, and adapt to their habitat. We can see the same in plants around the world, too. Plants are living organisms, and they also reproduce and adapt. Like animals, they pass on traits to their offspring. The inherited traits that plants pass on to offspring include the color of the flower, the shape of the flower, the shape of the leaf, and the height of the plant, etc. Plants reproduce in two ways. Most plants are flowering plants. The flowers produce pollen grains - very small structures. There are carried by insects, birds or the wind to other plants. When they are taken to another plant of the same type, the pollen grains mix with cells in the new plant to make seeds. When these seeds fall to the ground, they can grow into a new plant. This new plant will inherit traits from both the parent plants. It will be the same type, but it might have small differences. 18

These plants can produce bulbs which grow under the ground. The offspring plant only inherits traits from one parent plant, and it will have the same characteristics in leaf shape and stem structure as the parent plant. 2 Read again and match 1 reproduce 2 pollen grains 3 seed 4 cell 5 bulb a the smallest part of an organism b this is produced when the pollen grains mix with cells in a new plant c have offspring d this stays underground and grows into a plant e very small structures that plants use to reproduce 3 Read again and answer the questions 1 What inherited traits do plants pass on to offspring? 2 Do all plants have flowers? 3 Do all plants inherit traits from both parent plants? 19
