BIOL 191 - C31 Flashcards
__ are spore-producing structure; ploidy?
sporophyte ; diploid
___ is a gamete-producing structure; ploidy?
gametophyte ; haploid
What form the transition between sporophyte & gametophyte life cycle?
MEIOSIS & FERTILIZATION
Is sporophyte or gametophyte generation more complex ?
sporophyte
___ is a reproductive shoot with its organs produced by shoot apical meristems
FLOWERS
Flowers contain 4 types of organs:
sepals, petals, stamens, carpels.
Function of Sepals?
protect unopened flower bud
Function of Petals?
attract pollinators
Function of stamens & carpels?
produce spores by meiosis
Tiny gametophyte developed from ___ produced by __
spores produced by meiosis
What does STAMENS contains & produce?
contain Anther & Filament
MALE GAMETOPHYTE
What is ANTHER?
group of 4 sporangia that produce spores
Microspores & Macrospores are produced by cells that undergo ___ in the ___
meiosis in the sporangia
What are immature male gametophyte called?
What are mature male gametophyte called?
Pollen grains
Pollen tube
Pollen grains (aka ___) developed from ___
immature male gametophyte - microspores
__ are vase-shaped structures that produce, enclose, and nurture FEMALE GAMETOPHYTE
CARPELS
SPERMS cell are produced by ____ of ____ cell
MITOSIS of generative cell
What is PISTIL? what does it contain? (3)
what is the function of each structure?
single or fused carpels
- contain:
stigma: receive pollen grains
style: middle
ovary: carry ovules
What two structure in the pistil determine whether pollen grains germinate?
STIGMA & STYLE
The young sporophyte of a flowering plant lies within a ____
SEED
What does an OVULE consist of?
sporangium & integument tissue
___ undergo meiosis to produce haploid megaspores & microspores
Diploid sporophyte
There are 4 megaspores produced. 3 died, 1 survived to generate ____ by ___
Female gametophyte by mitosis
How does female gametophyte formed?
It formed by MITOSIS as 1 survived out of 4 megaspores produced.
The ovules of female gametophyte contains ___ cells & ___ nuclei
7 & 8
What leads to the production of young sporophyte?
FERTILIZATION
____ is a “gatekeeper” that allow appropriate pollen genotype to germinate
STIGMA
What happened during GERMINATION?
it produced a long thin pollen tube that contain 2 sperm cells
During pollination, the ___ will decide which ___ are allow to germinate
stigma
pollen grains
There are 2 types of pollination
self & cross pollination
where does haploid microspores produced?
in the anthers
When does POLLINATION occur?
when compatible pollen grains lands on the stigma
(Male gametophyte) ___ ___ grows through the style into the ovary that contain ____
Pollen tube
female gametophyte
What happened during the process of FERTILIZATION
Generative cell produced sperms that unite with the haploid cells of female gametophyte
Put in order the steps of POLLEN DEVELOPMENT:
1 microspores - produce \_\_\_ 2 tube cell - produce \_\_\_ 3 sporangium - produce \_\_\_ 4 generative cell - produce \_\_\_ 5 sperm travels to \_\_\_ for fertilization
- sporangium - produce MICROSPORES (meiosis)
- Microspores - produce tube cell & generative cell
- Tube cell - produce pollen tube
- Generative cell - produce sperm cells
- sperms travel to ovule for fertilization
FLOWERS that missing one or more whorls are ___
incomplete
Angiosperms perform ___ fertilization in which 1 sperm ___ to form ____
and the other sperm ___ to form ___
double
fertilized egg to form diploid zygote –> young sporophyte (embryo)
fused with the central cell in female gametophyte to form triploid endosperm
The ___cell & the ___ cell are fertilized during double fertilization
egg
central
Zygote and & endosperm originated from fertilization, but they are different due to
genomic imprinting
___ is a nutritive tissue for developing embryo
ENDOSPERM
