Q

How are flowers sorted into complete or incomplete?

A

Flowers that have all four types of modified leaves are complete
Flowers that lack one or more are incomplete

30
Q

In Angiosperms, where is the male and female gametophyte produced?

A 
Male gametophytes are contained within pollen grains produced by the microsporangia of anthers
Female gametophyte (embryo sac) develops within an ovule contained within an ovary at the base of a stigma
31
Q

(email) Describe double fertilization (include #n)

A 
Double fertilization (unique to angiosperms) is when the pollen tube discharges two sperm into the female gametophyte within an ovule
One fertilizes the egg, while the other combines with two of the female gametophyte's nuclei and initiates development of the endosperm (3n), which
feeds the developing embryo
32
Q

In Angiosperms, what does the embryo consist of?

A

Within a seed, the embryo consists of a root and seed leaves called cotyledons

33
Q

In Angiosperms, where does meiosis occur?

A

Flower

34
Q

In Angiosperms, how is the egg produced?

A

The megasporocyte (2n) divides to form four cells, one of which survives to form the megaspore (n). The megaspore divides three times to produce one large cell with eight haploid nuclei. Membranes grow between these nuclei to form a multicellular embryo sac (the female gametophyte). The large egg cell is located at one end.

35
Q

(email) In Angiosperms, how is the fruit produced? What is the purpose of fruit?

A

Fruits are formed when the ovary wall thickens and matures. They both protect the seed and aid in its dispersal, and can be fleshy or dry.

36
Q

What is the possible closest relative to the common ancestor of all angiosperms?

A

Bennettitales

37
Q

(email) What three groups form the basal taxa of the angiosperm phylogeny?

A

Amborella, water lilies, and star anise

38
Q

What is the significance of magnoliids to the evolution of angiosperms?

A

Magnoliids share some traits with basal angiosperms (different arrangements of flower parts) but evolved later. They include magnolias, laurels, and black pepper plants, and are more closely related to monocots and eudicots than the basal angiosperms.

39
Q

(email) Monocot or Dicot-> Netlike veins

A

Dicot

40
Q

(email) Monocot or Dicot-> more than 2/3 of angiosperms

A

Dicot

41
Q

(email) Monocot or Dicot-> grasses, orchids, and palms

A

Monocot

42
Q

(email) Monocot or Dicot Matching: pollen has 1 or 3 openings

A

Both Monocot and Dicot

43
Q

(email) Monocot or Dicot Matching: Scattered vascular tissue or rings

A

Both Monocot and Dicot

44
Q

(email) Give some examples of the significance of seed plants

A

10-12 TYA we started to cultivate seeds, and were able to make permanent settlements
They are sources of food, fuel, wood products, and medicine. Six crops make up 80% of human calories.

45
Q

Teosinte Video-> what were some of the things that first made people think teosinte was the ancestor of corn?

A

The chromosomes of teosinte and maize looked similar, and they could produce fertile offspring,

46
Q

Teosinte Video-> Describe the branching in teosinte and corn

A

(teosinte has a lot, corn has none),

47
Q

Teosinte Video-> Describe the kernels of teosinte and corn

A

Covered in teosinte, exposed in corn

48
Q

Teosinte Video-> Describe the number of kernels in teosinte and corn

A

s (teosinte has one row per cob, corn has many).

49
Q

Teosinte Video-> What data was gathered from the large F2 (offspring of crosses) experiment that lead the the identification of the number of gene differences?

A

The number of offspring from the F1 generation that would look like the original is 1/4n where n is the number of genes. About 1/500 looked like the original, so ⅘ genes were involved.

50
Q

Teosinte Video-> When was the original domestication of corn? (two types of data used)

A

The number of mutations predicts that the original domestication was 9 TYA.

Microfossils of maize were dated with nearby fire pit charcoal to 8.7 TYA.

51
Q

Teosinte Video-> Where was the domestication of corn?

A

Baslas Valley

52
Q

Teosinte Video-> How was teosinte eaten?

A

Teosinte was probably eaten as popcorn.

53
Q

Define micropyle

A

A small opening in the surface of an ovule, through which the pollen tube penetrates
The ovule is entered by a pore called the micropyle

54
Q

(email) What are the characteristics of the phylum Coniferophyta?

A

Dicot

59
Q

A

Dicot

60
Q

(email) Monocot or Dicot-> more than 1/4 of angiosperms

A

Monocot

61
Q

(email) Monocot or Dicot-> fibrous roots

A

Monocot

62
Q

(email) Monocot or Dicot-> organs in multiples of 3

A

63
Q

(email) What is the green revolution?

A

a period of time from the 1940s to the 1970s when many high yield varieties (HYV) were developed based on hybrid seeds and use of fertilizer, pesticides, etc

64
Q

(email) What are GMOs? What are their advantages and disadvantages?

A

organisms that are genetically modified for things like additional nutrition, pest resistance, drought resistance, and herbicide tolerance. However, the resulting loss of biodiversity also produces a loss in resources.

65
Q

(email) When and where did the domestication of plants occur?

A

twice in about 10,000 BC, with wheat in the fertile crescent and rice in east asia

66
Q

(email) What is a doomsday vault?

A

a seed bank. The one we talked about was Svalbard, in Norway. The purpose of seed banks is to keep seeds safe from habitat destruction, climate warming, and other threats. They can be used to reintroduce extinct plant species, but unfortunately not all seeds can be stored.

67
Q
