Key Takeaway: Flowering plants produce male and female gametes. The male gametes are pollen and are stored in the stamen. The female gametes are stored in ovules which are stored in the ovary at the base of the pistil.

Pollination generally occurs when insects and other animals transport pollen from one flower to another.
