(i) Pistil: it is the female reproductive part of the flower. The stigma receives the pollen grains; the style is the passage through which the pollen tube grows down to the ovary; the ovary contains the ovules, each with an egg cell (the female gamete), and fertilisation takes place in the ovule. After fertilisation the ovules develop into seeds and the ovary into the fruit. (ii) Stamen: it is the male reproductive part of the flower. Its anther produces the pollen grains, which contain the male germ cells (male gametes), and its filament holds the anther up.
