Q

What is the difference between polypetalous flowers, sympetalous flowers, and epipetalous flowers?

A

Polypetalous: Petals attached to receptacle and free

Sympetalous: Petals are fused

Epipetalous: Petals are fused to stamens.

17
Q

What is the name of fused stamens?

A

Androecium

18
Q

What are the features of advanced flowers?

A

Carpels are fused to form 1 ovary and 1 stigma

19
Q

What are the features of primitive flowers?

A

Carpels are free, and arranged in a spiral

Their reproductive parts have a cone-like appearance

20
Q

What are the different possible ovary positions?

A

Epigynous flowers have inferior ovaries

Perigynous have superior ovary and androecium forming a floral tube

Hypogynous means ovary is superior and floral parts are below the ovary

21
Q

What does K represent in the floral formula?

A

Sepals (Calyx)

22
Q

What does C represent in the floral formula?

A

Petals (Corolla)

23
Q

What does A represent in the floral formula?

A

Stamens (androecium)

24
Q

What does G represent in the floral formula?

A

Carpels (Gynoecium)

25
Q

What does P represent in the floral formula?

A

Perianth

26
Q

When is P used for the floral formula?

A

When sepals and petals are indistinguishable (this is usually the case in monocots)

27
Q

When are brackets used in the floral formula?

A

When the parts are fused

28
Q

When is a joining line used in the floral formula?

A

When parts are joined to one another

29
Q

What causes failed flowering?

A

Could be caused by maturity or species

Could be environmental and caused by temperature and light levels

Could be nutritional related to soil nutrients

30
Q

What is the response of plants to different wavelengths?

A

Plants respond to cues related to day length.

Red light is responded to by flowering

Blue light is more easily absorbed and so is responded to by increasing chlorophyll production

31
Q

What is a perfect flower?

A

A flower that is hermaphroditic and contains both sexes in 1 flower. Most flowers are like this

32
Q

What is an imperfect monoecious flower?

A

Both sexes are on the same plant but on different flower

33
Q

What is an imperfect dioecious flower?

A

Different plants have different sexes

34
Q

What are the morphological differences between an inbreeder and an outbreeder?

A

Outbreeders focus on creating larger and more numerous flowers and more exacerbated features for pollinator attraction in order to make reproduction more easy.

In breeders focus less on making themselves attractive to pollinators. They have a shorter carpel than anthers.

35
Q

What are cleistogamous flowers?

A

Flowers remain closed

They are self pollinated flowers

Eg. Peas, beans, orchids

36
Q

What are chasogamous flowers?

A

Open flowers (“chase” the concept of being pollinated by making adaptations for it)

They require external sources for pollination

37
Q

What are the types of chasogamous flowers?

A

Entemophilous flowers which rely on insects to be pollinated

Anemophilous flowers which rely on wind pollination

38
Q

What are some identifying features of flowers?

A

Floral characteristics such as structure, arrangement, inflorescence configuration, and pollen morphology.

Fruit and seen characteristics such as embryo development and ovary.

Phytomorphology including visible features and vegetative characteristics

39
Q

What are species defined by?

A

Morphological differences (Plants that look the same are same species)

Biological (reproductive isolation)

Genetic (genetic distance)

40
Q

What are some alternative identification methods for angiosperms?

A

Associations

Mating compatibility

Nutritional requirements

Phytochemistry

Genetic testing is also used

41
Q

What DNA is used for identification?

A

Nuclear

mtDNA

cDNA
