A

within an ovule

43
Q

where is the ovule found

A

inside ovary

44
Q

most flowers have mechanisms to ensure ______

A

cross-pollination

45
Q

______ makes the ______ which gives rise to pollen grains

A

microsporocyte makes microspores by meiosis which makes pollen grains

46
Q

pollen grains AKA

A

microgametophyte

47
Q

the ovule holds the

A

megasporocyte

48
Q

ovule undergoes ____ to produce _____

A

meiosis to produce megaspores

49
Q

ovule ploidy

A

2n

50
Q

megaspore ploidy

A

n

51
Q

what surrounds the megaspore

A

megasporangium (2n)

52
Q

what makes up the female gametophyte

  1. 3 antipodal cells
  2. 2 polar nuclei
  3. 2 synergids
  4. 1 egg
53
Q

egg ploidy

61
Q

seed coat ploidy

A

2n

62
Q

how many meiosis events are in angiosperms

A

2

63
Q

development of male gametophyte in pollen grain steps

A
  1. microsporocyte *2n undergoes meiosis and produces 4 microspores (n)
  2. each microspore undergoes mitosis to produce generative cell and tube cell
64
Q

development of female gametophyte in the embryo sac

A
  1. ovule undergoes meiosis and forms 4 megaspores with ONE surviving
  2. surviving megaspore undergoes mitosis 3 times to form 8 nuclei and 7 cells
65

  2. polar nuceli (2)
  3. egg (1)
  4. synergids (2)
66
Q

why is double fertilization advantageous

A
  1. no sperm is wasted
  2. can synchronize all parts of the new sporophyte growing (development of fruit with development of food source)

140 million

68
Q

true or false
we fully understand how angiosperms originated from other seed plants

A

FALSE - we don;t

69
Q

what is the significance of Archaefructus Sinensis

A

it is the first true flowering plant despite lacking petals or sepals

70
Q

what relative of angiosperms is suggested to be the basal lineage (ancestral)

71
Q

Bennettitales importance

A

they were woody plants which suggests woody is the ancestral state
