18
Q

The carpel

A

consists of an ovary at the base and a style leading up to a stigma where pollen is received

19
Q

Sometimes carpel is referred to as ___

20
Q

Embryo sac

A

female gametophyte

develops within an ovule contained within an ovary at the base of a stigma

21
Q

Embryo sac

Daughter nuclei divide to produce

A

8 haploid nuclei in 2 groups of 4

22
Q

What happens after the daughter nuclei divide

A
  1. 2 nuclei (1 from each group of 4) migrate toward center - ruction as polar nuclei - my fuse
  2. Cell closest to the micropyle becomes the egg
  3. 2 other cells are synergies
  4. Antipodals are the 3 cells at the other end - they have no function
23
Q

Integuments become the

24
Q

The 8 haploid nuclei in 7 cells make up the

A

female gametophyte

also known as the embryo sac

25
Q

The stamen

A

modified microsporophyll
male part of flower
Microsporangium - pollen sacs

26
Q

Complete flower

A

has all 4 modified leaves

incomplete is missiong one or more

27
Q

Perfect flowers

A

have both male and female parts

28
Q

Monoecious plant

A
  • has both male and female parts
  • perfect flowers are monoecious
  • but plant could have female flower ad male flowers
29
Q

Dioicous plant

A

Each sporophyte produces either male or female gametophytes

30
Q

Perfect flowers can’t

A

self pollinate

some plants have very high frequency of selfing

31
Q

Mechanisms to prevent selfing

A

Gametophytic self incompatibility
Heterostyly
Sporophytic Self Incompatibility

32
Q

Gametophytic self incompatability

A

Proteins prevent pollen tube from growing

33
Q

Heterostyly

A

Stamens and Carpels are of different length

34
Q

Pollen

A

Male gametophyte

Pollen structure influenced by dispersal methods

35
Q

Exterior of pollen composed primarily of

A

Sporopollenin

36
Q

A pollen grain that has landed on a stigma germinates and the pollen tube of the male gametophyte

A

grows down the ovary

37
Q

Ovule is entered by a pore called the

38
Q

Double fertilization

A

occurs when the pollen tube discharges two sperm into the female gametophyte within an ovule

39
Q

One sperm fertilizes the egg while the other combines with two nuclei in the central cell of the female gametophyte and initiates development of

A

food-storing endosperm

40
Q

The endosperm

A

nourishes the developing embryo

41
Q

Double fertilization continued

A
  • one sperm unites with egg to form the diploid zygote - new sporophyte
  • other sperm unites with the two polar nuclei to form the triploid endosperm - provides nutrients to embryo
42
Q

Cotyledons

A

within a seed, the embryo consists of a root and one or two seed leaves called cotyledons
gymnosperms have 2-24 cotyledons

43
Q

Hypogeal cotyledons

A

stay below ground and do not photosynthesize

44
Q

Epigeal cotyledons

A

expand on germination and push off seed shell, photosynthesizing above ground
