Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Flower is the reproductive part of a plant. A flower may be unisexual with either the male or the female reproductive parts. A bisexual flower has both the male and the female reproductive parts. The male gametes are found inside the pollen grains and female gametes are found in the ovule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Flowers contain male sex organs called stamens and female sex organs called pistils. The anther is the part of the stamen that contains pollen. Pollen contains the male gametes. Pollen must be moved to a part of the pistil called the stigma for reproduction to take place.

Detailed explanation-3: -Flowers. Sexual reproduction is the sole function of flowers, often the showiest part of a plant. Flowers’ beauty and fragrance evolved not to please humans but to attract pollinators (insects or birds), which are central to the reproductive process.

Detailed explanation-4: -How do flowers reproduce? Flowers reproduce by the process of pollination. The pollen grains are transferred from the anther of the male flower to the stigma of the female flower, enabling fertilization resulting in the production of seeds.
