Exam 2 Flashcards
A mature, unfertilized ovule in an angiosperm is the result of ______
Both meiosis and mitosis
At the conclusion of meiosis in plants, the end products are always four ______.
Spores
Correct sequence of alternations of generations in flowering plants
Sporophyte -> meiosis -> gametophyte -> gametes -> fertilization -> diploid zygote
Mitosis occurs in gametophytes to produce gametes, meiosis occurs in sporophytes to produce spores, and the gametophyte is within the flower in angiosperms. TRUE OR FALSE?
True
True or false of angiosperms:
They have triploid endosperm within the seed and ovary that becomes a fruit
True
The ovary is most often located in/on the ______.
Carpel
Microsporangia in flowering plants are located in the ______.
Stamen
Correct order of floral organs from outside to inside
Sepals->petals->stamens->carpels
All of the following are primary functions of the flower except.
- photosynthesis
- sexual reproduction
- pollen production
- egg production
- meiosis
Photosynthesis
Meiosis occurs within all of the following flower parts except the ______.
- ovary
- anther
- megasporangium
- ovule
- style
Style
Female gametophytes develop from megaspores within the anthers. TRUE OR FALSE?
false
In flowering plants, pollen is released from the ______.
anther
In the life cycle of an angiosperm, which of the following stages is diploid?
microsporocyte
Where does meiosis occur in a flowering plant?
megasporocyte and microsporocyte
Sequence of processes that takes place when a flowering plant reproduces
meiosis -> pollination -> nuclear fusion -> formation of embryo and endosperm
which of the following is incorrectly pair with its life-cycle generation?
- stamen-sporophyte
- embryo-sporophyte
- anther-gametophyte
- pollen-gametophyte
- embryo sac-gametophyte
*anther-gametophyte
Correct sequence of events in a pollen sac?
microsporocyte-> meiosis-> microspores->mitosis->two haploid cells per pollen grain
Where and by which process are sperm cells formed in plants?
Mitosis, and in male gametophyte pollen tube
in which of the following pairs are the two terms equivalent?
- endosperm-male gametophyte
- ovule-egg
- microspore-pollen grain
- embryo sac-female gametophyte
- seed-zygote
*embryo sac-female gametophyte
Which of the following would be considered a multiple fruit?
- raspberry
- apple
- pineapple
- corn on the cob
- strawberry
-pineapple
Three mitotic divisions within the female gametophyte of a flowering plant will produce ______.
three antipodal cells, two polar nuclei, one egg, and two synergids
What is the difference between pollination and fertilization in flowering plants?
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from an anther to a stigma. Fertilization is the fusion of haploid nuclei.
