a flowering plant is a __________________
diploid sporophyte

a single sporocyte within the sporangium undergoes meiosis to produce _________________ spores
4 haploid
three of four spores ______________________ having just one functional spore
degenerate
in an embryo sac the spore undergoes mitosis ______ times to grow into an - female gametocyte
3 times
8 celled female gametophyte
-two center cells 0f a embryo sac are _________________
central cells
three cells at one end are called _________
antipodes
two of three cells at the other end are called _____________
synergid
third cell of the other end is the ______________
egg
angiosperm, female gametophytes do not contain _______________
archegonia
the 8 celled female gametophyte is called an _______________
embryo sac
the embryo sac developed within the _____________________ which is surrounded by the integument
female sporangium
the entire embryo sac, female sporangium, and integument is an ______________ located in the flower’s _______________
ovule
ovary
male sporangio are located within a flower’s _____________
anthers
male sporocytes within the sporangia undergo _____________ to produce ____________________. all remain viable
meiosis
haploid spores
male angiosperm spores undergo ________ just once producing ____________________________
mitosis
male gametophytes with only two cells
male gametophyte cells (2)
- one tube cell
- one generative cell
these two celled male gametophytes are ______________
pollen grains
during pollination the tube cell elongates to form a ___________________
polen tube
the pollen tube extends to the ovule in the ovary where it passes through the integument and sporangium to contact _______________
the embryo sac
_________________ undergoes mitosis to produce two sperm cells
the generative cell
the sperm cells reach the embryo sac after being sent down ________________
pollen tube
one sperm cell fertilizes the egg, producing ________________
diploid zygote
the second sperm cell fertilizes the nuclei of ______________________
both central cells
the fertizaton of both central cells results in ______________
a triploid cell called endosperm
fertilization why two sperm cells is called _________________ and is unique to angiosperms
double fertilization
following double fertilization the ___________ becomes a ____________
ovule to seed
the zygote grows by ____________ producing an embryonic sporophyte
mitosis
the endosperm also grows by __________________
mitosis
a seed coat __________________ surrounds and sportects the embryo and endosperm
integument
endosperm serves as a source of _________________________________
nutrition for develop for the developing embryo
in monocots the embryo ____________________________
directly consumes the endosperm
in edicts the embryos two cotyledons __________
consume the endosperm. The embryo then consumes the cotyledons
a bean is an example of _____________
eudicot
a been consists of two halves each half is a
cotyledon the cotyledons provide nutrients to developing embryo
the embryo consists of to regions
epicotyl
radicle
epicotyl
embryonic shoot
radicle
embryonic root
corn is an example of ________________
monocot
monocots like corn have _____________,
one cotyledon
the endosperm rather than cotyledon provide nutrients
the following fertilization, the ovary developed into a ___________
fruit
the fruit surrounds the ____________
fruit functions for _____________
seed
seed dispersal
fruits are classified as __________ or __________
fleshy or dry
the embryo ultimately breaks out of the seed and grows into an adult __________________ during _________ process
sporophyte
germination
during germination the _________ always emerges first
radical

- stolans
- thizomes
- fragentation
horizontal aboveground stems
stolons
horizontal below ground
rhizomes
connection of asexual plants
rhizome
plantlets and gemmae in gemma cups
fragmentation
asexual production of seeds
apomixis
