Q

angiosperm life cycle includes double fertilization

A
  • the pollen tube reaches the ovule, one of the two sperm fuses with the egg to form a zygote
  • the other sperm fuses with the 2 nuclei in the middle to form an endosperm (which has 3 sets of chromosomes and is triploid or 3N)

Q

after double fertilization

A

ovule matures into a seed, zygote develops into a sporophyte embryo and the triploid central cell of the gametophyte develops into endosperm

Q

how did plants adapt to being on land

A

the move to land required protection from desiccation of gametes and embryos, as wall as a new means of gamete and embryo dispersal

Q

seeds

A
  • multicellular, usually diploid, larger and can contain a large amount of storage material
  • presence of storage material in seeds allows some seeds to survive for long periods of time until the appropriate environmental conditions for growth arise
