exercise 9 Flashcards
capacity of life to give rise to a new life
reproduction
modes of reproduction
asexual and sexual
uniparental; no gametes are involved
asexual reproduction
undergoes mitosis
asexual reproduction
progenies are identical or clones of the parents; stability of characters and rapid increase in population
asexual reproduction
ex. of plant that undergoes asexual reproduction
kalanchoe pinnata
undergoes meiosis
sexual reproduction
meiosis halves the number of chromosomes and causes variation through:
-recombination
-independent assortment
-segregation of genes
two major processes of sexual reproduction
-meiosis
-fertilization/syngamy
process where haploid gametes fuse to form diploid zygote
fertilization/syngamy
progressive and cumulative changes that proceed over an organism’s life history
development
immediate product of fertilization; diploid cell
zygote
fusion/exchange of genetic material; happens when fertilization is absent
conjugation
what does conjugation form?
diploid zygospore
what are the major aspects of development?
-growth
-differentiation
-morphogenesis
increase in number of cells because of successive mitotic divisions and cell enlargement
growth
morphological and physiological changes in the cell; transforms meristematic into mature/adult form; associated with cell, tissue, or organ specialization
differentiation
progressive formation of a three dimensional shape or pattern that is characteristic of a species
morphogenesis
monocot flower
rice
dicot flower
gumamela (hibiscus rosa-sinensis)
gumamela
hibiscus rosa-sinensis
widely exhibited in bacteria, protists, plants, and lower forms of animals
asexual reproduction
modified fission wherein a new individual is derived from an outgrowth of the parent
budding
breaking up of a filament to give rise to segments that can produce new individuals; often occurs at weak points or next to a heterocyst
fragmentation
enlarged, thick-walled cell that can fix molecular nitrogen
heterocyst
reproduction of minute propagative cells called spores (meiospores)
sporulation
gemmae are formed within gemmae cups on the surface of the plant and develop into new plants when dispersed
gemmation
small clumps of undifferentiated cells
gemmae
cup shaped organs
gemmae cups
may produce new plants from modified stems and leaves
vegetative reproduction
types of asexual reproduction
-budding
=fragmentation
-sporulation
-gemmation
-vegetative reproduction
artificial methods
-cutting
-layering
-micropropagation
reproductive life cycle phases
-sporophyte
-gametophyte
produces spores through mitosis
sporophyte
produces gametes through meiosis; site of sporogenesis, gametogenesis, pollination, double fertilization
gametophyte
formation of spores
sporogenesis
where are male spores (microspores) located
stamen (microsporophyll)
where are female spores (megaspores) located
carpel/pistil (megasporophyll)
formation of gametophytes
gametogenesis
male gametophyte
pollen grain
female gametophyte
mature embryo sac
what is pollination
transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a plant to the stigma of another plant and is aided by agents since gametes are non motile
agents
wind, water, animals
what is double fertiization
fusion of one sperm cell and one egg cell to form a diploid zygote and fusion of another sperm cell and two polar nuclei to form a triploid endosperm
