Q

How are egg cells produced from spores?

A

Embryo sac containing a megaspore mother cell undergoes meiosis to form 4 haploid cells.

The embryo sac then contains a haploid egg which undergoes mitosis 3 times.

2 polar bodies are formed and 6 egg cells (3 on each side)

Q

How does double fertilisation take place?

A

Pollen grains attach to the stigma and 2 sperm travel through the style towards the ovary.

Sperm fuses with egg to form zygote and another sperm fuses with polar nuclei to form the endosperm

Q

How are carpels used in identification of fruit?

A

Some fruit are monocarpous (Most legumes) These have a single carpel

Syncarpous (many are fused and constitutes most flowers)

Apocarpous (consist of many distinct unfused flowers)

Q

What are agreggate fruits made of?

A

Agreggate cluster of simple fruits and are formed from a group of ovaries attached to a single receptacle.

This is typically seen in the rosaceae family

23
Q

What are berries?

A

Fleshy outer wall fruit such as tomatoes, kiwifruit, grapes, etc…

*Solonaceae represents this fruit type well

24
Q

What are pepos?

A

Ovary wall is a hard rind such as in cucumber, pumpkin, and watermelon

25
Q

What are hesperidium?

A

Leathery outer wall such as in grapefruit, oranges, and lemons

26
Q

What are the types of fleshy simple fruit?

A

Berries

Pomes

Hesperidium

27
Q

What are the types of dry fruit?

A

Follicle (splitting along one suture)

Legume (splitting along 2 sutures)

Capsule dehisces through pores, slits, or valves

28
Q

How are valved fruit distinguished?

A

euclids are identified based on number of valves

29
Q

What do samara fruits look like?

A

Wing like pericarp

30
Q

What do achene’s look like?

A

Achene (like bizr and pumpkin seeds) consists of a small fruit with a thin wall

31
Q

What is a fruit with a large, thick stony wall?

A

A nut

32
Q

What are the main types of schizocarps?

A

Lomentum (transverse splitting as seen in fabaceae)

Cremocarp (Inferior ovary fruit splits vertically into 2 mericarps)

Carcerulus (Fruit from a superior ovary splits vertically into 2 or more mericarps)

33
Q

How are schizocarps formed?

A

Carpels are splitting apart at maturity and become 1-seed units (mericarps)

34
Q

Which fruit are made up of united pericarp all around?

A

Grains (caryopsis)

Represented by poaceae such as rice, corn, and wheat.

35
Q

What is fruit hybridisation?

A

Several fruits that reproduce together produce intermediate fruit types

36
Q

Which gene is responsible for fertlity in many plants?

A

jai1

37
Q

What does the cotyledon become in adult plant?

A

Leaf

38
Q

What does the plumule become in adult plants?

A

Shoot

39
Q

What does the radicle become in adult plants?

A

Root

40
Q

Why can oil be made from sunflower, peanut, and almond seeds?

A

They are high in lipid content (~50%) and this is a lot higher than carboydrate content. Pea and wheat have much lower lipid content.

41
Q

What is a seed?

A

A mature ovule (it is composed of a single cell)

42
Q

Which family has the smallest seeds?

A

Orchidaceae

43
Q

Which family has the largest seeds?

A

Areaceae

44
Q

How is germination controlled?

A

Stimulators and inhibitors react to the environmental conditions

Seed is protected in a seed coat which must often be broken through by physical disturbances

45
Q

What is a seed viability test?

A

Seed is given tetrazolium chloride which penetrates into the seed if it has no outer covering. If it does then that causes the seed to stain red and indicates that the seed is viable

46
Q

What are the methods that plants can reproduce by vegetatively via modified stems?

A

Parthenogenesis

Vegetative propagation

Tissue culture propagation

47
Q

How do offground runners reproduce vegetatively?

A

Offshoots grow into the surrounding soil and grows into a viable plant

48
Q

What are the types of vegetative budding?

A

Above ground runners

Underground Rhizomes

Underground tubers (like potatoes)

Underground corms (carbohydrate mass grows into a viable plant)

49
Q

What is above ground vegetative propagation?

A

Little plantlets that grow on the leaves and can spread and grow into new individuals exist in some species

50
Q

What is a vegetable?

A

Edible part of a stem or a root

51
Q

What are the problems caused by natural clones?

A

Inbreeding

Extinction can result due to lack of variation

52
Q

Why is cloning done in laboratories?

A

Conservation and commercialization of plants

53
Q

How are clones produced in labs?

A

Genetic engineering

Cuttings

Tissue culture

54
Q

What is the largest natural clone plant colony?

A

Quaking Aspen forest in Wasatch Mountains, Utah, USA composed of a single male colony which reproduce by root regeneration.

55
Q

What are the oldest natural clone colonies?

A

King;s Lomatia in Tasmania, Australia and reproduce by branch regeneration (43600 years old)

Creosote bush in California USA reproduce by root sprouts and is 12000 years old.

56
Q

GMO’s blah blah blah

A
