Botany exam 5 Flashcards
Homogamy
Pollen and stigma are active at same time
Cleistogamy
Pollen is shed from anther to closed stigma
Cross Fertilization
requires cross pollination, pollen exchange between flowers or plants
Mixed Breeding systems
can operate by self pollination and cross pollination.
- depends on variability of pollinators
Self Fertilization
pollination on the same flower or between flowers of the same plant
Cross Pollination
added variation
good chance of different genomes and genetic lineages
Protandry
Anthers active before pistil/stigma
Protogyny
Pistil/Stigma are active before anthers
Endozoochory
Dispersal inside an animal
Autochory
Self Dispersal
Active Autochory
Explosion of seeds
Passive Autochory
requires wind or something to brush it so the seeds can fall
Epizoochory
Attached to an animal
- spines, hooked hairs, and mucilage
Synzoochory
intentional animal movement
- stockpiling (i.e. ants)
What is the cell wall of fungi made of?
Chitin
Coenocytic Hyphae
Hyphae are that are not divided by septa
Cytoplasmic Continuity
Pores in septum allow for exchange of cytoplasm between adjacent cells
Where does growth occur for fungi hyphae?
Tips of the hyphae
What are Fungi “Eyes”
Specialized structures that can give the fungi information of light levels in environment. Reproduce more, because of changing environment
