Q

Plant cells are very organized, however they often have what shape?

A

Rectangular

20
Q

Which direction do plant cells split.

A

Width wise, Hamburger, not Hotdog

21
Q

How are plant cells organized?

A

Microtubule arrangment of the preprophase band.

22
Q

What is the preprophase band?

A

A highly dense region of cytoskeleton that indicates the plane of division.

23
Q

What type of division do plant cells have?

A

Either assymentrical or symmetrical. Either way there is equal distribution of DNA.

24
Q

If the division is symmetrical the 2 daughter cells are going to be ________.

A

The same size

25
Q

If the division is asymmetrical the 2 daughter cells are going to be ________.

A

Different sizes

26
Q

Why is asymmetrical development important for guard cells?

A

It allows for the guard cells to change shape efficiently. This asymmetry allows them to swell or shrink unequally (the opening and closing of the stomata). This is essential to regulating gas exchange and water loss.

27
Q

Symmetrical and Asymmetrical division is important for what?

A

Polarity. Has different structures on opposite sides.

28
Q

What is morphogenesis or pattern generation?

A

The acquisition of different identities based on spatial arrangement or location.

29
Q

How is cell purpose of fate decided?

A

Lineage based mechanisms-determined by direction of meristematic division.
Position based mechanism-based on position of an undifferentiated cell in a future organ and neighboring cells.

30
Q

How does DNA in a dermal cell differ from a vascular/ground tissue cell of the same plant?

A

It isn’t different

31
Q

Differentiation is due to gene expression, what is that?

A

Which genes are being expressed. Or what regions of DNA -> RNA -> protein.

32
Q

How is gene expression determined?

A

Communication between neighboring cells

33
Q

What is an example of gene expression based off of neighboring cells?

A

When Arabidopsis, immature epidermal cells, come into contact with 2 cortex cells, they become root hair cells. On the other hand, when it comes into contact with only 1 cortex cell they become hairless dermal cells.

34
Q

What gene regulates the cell from becoming a hair cell?

A

GLABRA-2

35
Q

When is GLABRA-2 expressed.

A

When a cell is in contact with only 1 cortex cell.

36
Q

In animals, what are the developmental stages?

A

Infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood.

37
Q

What major developmental change seperates adolescence and adulthood?

A

Puberty

38
Q

How do plants go through developmental stages?

A

Different parts of the plant can be in different stages. Either juvenile, adult vegetative, adult reproductive.

39
Q

What are the 3 plant developmental phases?

A

Juvenile, adult vegetative, adult reproductive.

40
Q

What part of the plant changes for distinct developmental phases?

A

Only the apical meristem changes

41
Q

What is an example of various plant stages in a plant?

A

In Acacia plants it’s easy to see that the adult new leaves are on top, but the bottom has older yet juvenile leaves.

42
Q

What is the phase change from vegetative (indeterminate) to reproductive (determinate) growth?

A

Similar to puberty, however those organs are not there until this phase is reached?

43
Q

What environmental cues would spur plant reproduction?

A

Light, Temperature, Weather, Resources

44
Q

What are some internal cues for plant reproductive phases?

A

Hormones

45
Q

What do cues activate?

A

Genes and gene expression. This activates meristem identity genes. Initiates the process from vegetative to reproduction.

46
Q

What leads to abnormal flower development?

A

Mutations or abnormal gene expression

A
