The  development stage in the growth of a plant's offspring.

The ripened ovary of seed-producing plants; it can be fleshy or dry.

A development stage in the growth of a new offspring, in a plant it is formed inside a seed.

An organ in the female reproductive system. In a plant, fertilisation and seed formation take place here.

The fusion of gametes to form a zygote; the gametes of a plant are pollen and ova.

Pupils will learn about what the genome is, what it’s made of and where it’s stored, more detail about the chemical structure of DNA, and the relationship between an organism’s genome and its phenotype.

Pupils learned about changes experienced in puberty, the male and female reproductive systems, the menstrual cycle, sexual intercourse, gametes and fertilisation, gestation and birth, and the dangers of smoking, drinking and drugs during pregnancy.

This unit explores plant reproduction, including flower structure, pollination, fertilisation, seed formation, and dispersal mechanisms. It highlights the role of insect pollination in food security. Focus is on planning and conducting enquiries, and ensuring reliable observations.
