Q

2 types of generation in the life cycle of plants

+ ploidy level of each
+ reproductive process from 1st type -> 2nd type?
+ number of stages of each?
+ what are these ^^ stages?

A
  1. sporophyte generation (diploid) - 4
    - zygote (2n)
    - embryo (2n)
    - mature sporophyte (2n)
    - sporocyte (2n)

—–MEIOSIS——

  1. gametophyte generation (haploid) - 5
    - spores (n)
    - mature gametophyte (n)
    - sperm (n) / egg (n) -> [fertilization]
    - zygote (n)

Q

2 possible intermediary phases between the SPOROPHYTE and GAMETOPHYTE

+ relevance

+ reason for such a name

A

MEGASPOROGENESIS - produces egg (physically bigger)

MICROSPOROGENESIS - produces sperm (physically smaller)

Q

4 PARTS in MEGASPOROGENESIS

+ function

A
  1. synergids (provide nutrition and support)
  2. antipodals (protects egg + sends signal to sperm to meet with egg)
  3. filiform apparatus (helps in nutrient exchange)
  4. central egg cell (reproduction)

Q

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 COMPOSITION

A
  1. True Fruit: derived from only “ripened ovary”
  2. Accessory Fruit: derived from “ripened ovary” + other flower parts
17
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
- cluster of flowers = several fruits that fuse into 1 body (infructescence like PINEAPPLE)

18
Q

3 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

3 types of FLESHY FRUITS

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 (okra)
  4. Capsule (compound gynoecium)
    - breaks along lines of fusion (okra)
24
Q

2 example of accessory fruit

A

strawberry and apple

25
Q

4 types of DRY INDEHISCENT FRUITS + definition

A
  • fruit remains closed (not releasing seeds) even after maturation
  1. Caryopsis (one-seeded)
    - seed coat + pericarp fusion (CORN)
  2. Achene (one-seeded)
    - thin and papery pericarp (SUNFLOWER)
  3. Samara (one-seeded)
    - wing-like appendage (NARRA)
  4. Nut (flower w several carpels BUT only one becomes seed_
