Q

+ function

A
  1. synergids (provide nutrition and support)

Q

function of TUBE NUCLEUS in MICROSPOROGENESIS

+ what happens to it afterward?

A

guides sperm to meet the egg cell by MAKING a “pollen tube” through the stigma and style

bc sperm cant go to ovary by itself

tube nucleus disintegrates SO THAT sperm entirely meets with egg and fertilization OCCURS

Q

2 types of fruit based on FLORAL ORIGINS

A
  1. Simple Fruit: 1 flower = 1 fruit
  2. Compound Fruit: 2 types

2.1 Aggregate
- 1 flower = several fruits (multiple, separate carpels)

2.2 Multiple
- infructescence = several fruits that fuse into 1 body (PINEAPPLE)

18
Q

3 COMMON PARTS of a seed

A

endosperm
embryo
seed coat

19
Q

2 PARTS of a fruit

A

fruit wall (enclosing seeds) / pericarp
fruit stalk

20
Q

3 LAYERS of pericarp

A
  1. exocarp
  2. mesocarp
  3. endocarp
21
Q

2 types of fruit based on SUCCULENCE

A
  1. fleshy fruits (fibrous, thick, soft, succulent fruit wall)
  2. dry fruits (thin papery or dry fruit walls)
    - dehiscent
    - indehiscent
22
Q

A
  1. Berry (entire pericarp is soft)
    - Pepo (tough exocarp, undifferentiated inner pericarp LIKE CUCUMBER)
    - Hesperidium (leathery exocarp LIKE LEMON)
  2. Pome (papery/leathery endocarp + soft exo & mesocarp LIKE APPLE)
  3. Drupe (hard endocarp + soft exo & mesocarp LIKE COCONUT)
23
Q

4 types of DRY DEHISCENT FRUITS + definition

A
  • fruit splits open to release the seeds upon maturation
  1. Legume (1 carpel)
    - breaks open along 2 sides (peanuts, beans, monggo)
  2. Follicle (1 carpel)
    - breaks open along one side (culumbine)
  3. Schizocarp (compound gynoecium)
    - breaks into individual carpels called MERICARPS (spurge)

    - breaks along lines of fusion (okra)
24
Q

25
Q

4 types of DRY INDEHISCENT FRUITS + definition

A
  • fruit remains closed (not releasing seeds) even after maturation
