27
Q

The inner layer of pollen

28
Q

The basic unit of gynoecium

A

Carpel part of the gynoecium composed of an ovary, one or more style

28
Q

Refers to the collective term for all female organss mo of the flower

A

Gynoecioum

28
Q

Catches the pollen grain

29
Q

This elevates the stigma in advantageous position

30
Q

This is where megaspores atr produced

31
Q

Regions of tissue that bear the ovules

32
Q

What connects the ovule to the placenta?

33
Q

Seeds attached to placenta via ?

34
Q

Radial symmetry
○ a.k.a. regular flowers

A

Actinomorphic

35
Q

Bilateral symmetry two planes only

A

zygomorphic

35
Q

lack any plane of symmetry

A

Asymmetrical

35
Q

A collection nor aggregation of flowers on individual plant

A

inflorescence

36
Q

type of inflorescence that Terminal flower usually opens first

A

Determinate

37
Q

type of inflorescence that Lowest and outermost flowers open first

A

Indeterminate

38
Q

example of raceme

38
Q

Spike-like inflorescence with
imperfect flowers that occur in the
same inflorescence has a spathe = petal-like bract

38
Q

lower stalks are proportionally
longer so that the flowers form a
flat or slightly convex head

38
Q

Similar to raceme, but the flowers
have no pedicel

39
Q

Examples of spadix:

A

Spathiphyllum wallisii
Arecaceae

40
Q

Examples of panicle

A

Mangifera indica

41
Q

Example of spike

A

triticum aestivum

42
Q

Example of plants that are apomixis

A

Garcinia mangostana
Hieracium pilosella
rutaceae
citrus microcarpa

42
Q

what is the outcome of the ovary as it develops?

42
Q

What happens with the 2 sperms produced by microgametophyte

A

1 fertilizes the egg cell (2n)
one fertilized the polar nuclei (3n)

42
Q

What is the outcome of the ovule as it develops

42
Q

this is the form of asexual reproduction where the development of an embryo does not need fertilization

43
Q

What cell of the microspore undergoes mitosis?

A

generative cells.

43
Q

refers to the
development of megaspores from the megasporocyte

A

megasporogenesis

43
Q

is development of
the female gametophyte from the haploid product(s) of meiosis

A

megagametogenesis

44
Q

What happens to the pollen tube nucleus, the
other synergid, and the antipodal cells after
fertilization?

A

degenerate

45
Q

this direct the pollen tube and it
enters the micropyle

46
Q

this is obtaining a portion of a leaf, stem, or
root, and replanting it

47
Q

new individual develops from some
generative anatomical point of the
parent organism

48
Q

combining a scion of one plant and
connecting it to the stock of another

49
Q

tissue culture or cell culture techniques

A

micropropagation

49
Q

3 types of layering

A

air layering, simple layering and mound layering

50

give monoecious plants

A
  • Zea mays
  • Cucumis sativus
  • Artocarpus heterophyllus
51

give dioecious plants

A
  • Asparagus officinalis
  • Carica papaya
  • Ginko biloba
52
Q

example of determinate inflorescence

A
