plant reproduction Flashcards
define vegaetative propagation
asexual reproduction in plants
two methods or vegetative propagation and one example of a plant that carries out that method
stem-strawberry
bud-onion
three method to artificially propagate plants
cutting, layering and grafting
part that gives rise to the root
radicle
part that gives rise to the shoot
plumule
two methods of dispersal
wind dispersal, animal dispersal and self dispersal
one advantage of dispersal
less competition with the parent plant
parts of the carpal
style, stigma and ovary
parts of stamen
anther and filament
define pollination
transfer of pollen from an anther to a stigma of a flower of the same species
location where food is stored in a monocot seed
endosperm
location where food is stored in a dicot seed
cotyledon
how to seeds contribute to the formation of fruit
produce growth regulators
part of a flower from which a fruit develops
ovary
role of genetics in fruit production
seedless fruits
two advantages of seed dispersal
reduces competition and overcrowding
function of receptacle
support
function of sepal
protect flower when its a bud
function of petal
attract animals
function of anther
produces pollen
function of filament
supports anther
function of stigma
traps or catches pollen
function of style
where pollen tube grows
two adaptations of wind pollinated plants
large anther outside and stigma is feathery
two advantages of sexual reproduction of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction
variation and less competition
