Chapter 8 Flashcards
Plant reproduction
Propagation
Male sex cell (sperm)
Pollen
Female sex cell (egg) is
Ovule
Genetically identical to parent
Clone
Outer covering of the seed
Seed coat
Reproductive part of a flowering plant
Flower
Flower that has 4 principle parts
Complete flower
Cover and protects bud
Sepals
Colorful feature attracts insects to aid in fertilization
Petals
Male part of the flower
Stamen
Female part of the flower
Pistil
Stamen and pistil found in the same flower
Perfect flower
Flowers that don’t have 4 parts
Incomplete flower
Stamen and pistil found in different flowers
Imperfect flower
Stamen and pistil found in different flowers: of the same plant
Monoecious plant
Stamen and pistil found in different flowers: of the species
Dioecious plant
Asexual reproduction: natural example is…
Strawberry runner/stolon
Asexual reproduction: artificial example is…
Grafting
Transfer of pollen from an anther on a stamen to the stigma
Pollination
The way seed are naturally scattered
Dispersal
Sprouting of seed to form a new plant
Germination
Germination needs…
Temperature, moisture, and oxygen
2 benefits of vegetative propagation
1) new plant has same traits as parents
2) no seed needed
2 methods of vegetative propagation
Below ground and above ground parts
Getting roots to grow from stems of plants
Layering
Short section of stem placed in a growing medium to form roots
Cuttings
Placing a bud from one plant onto another for growth
Budding
Placing a section of stem onto another plant so that it grows
Grafting
Growing a new plant from a single cell or small group of cells
Tissue culture
The most used growing medium is…
Soil
Other growing mediums are…
Peat, water, and sand
2 methods of layering are:
Ground layering and air layering
Male plants…
Male dioations plants don’t bear fruit
2 types of reproduction are…
Sexual and asexual
Two types of seed produced are…
Monocot and dicot
Pollination may occur in two ways:
Cross(natural) and self(artificial)
Two different types of fruits are:
Fleshy fruit and dry fruit
When seed are tested to determine the number that sprout out of a set amount, this process calculates…
Perfect germination
What makes up the pistil?
Stigma, style, and ovary
What makes up the stamen?
Anther and filament
Examples of dispersal?
Wind, birds, animal’s fur
What does a good seed have?
Purity, no damage, and free of contamination
What is an immature plant?
Embryo
Where does pollination take place in the stamen?
Anther
