Plant Reproduction (Ch 26) Flashcards
Asexual reproduction
organims variations in phenotype and genotype
Asexual
organism suited well to environment to maintaining species
term for female gametophyte
embryo sac
term for male gametophyte
pollen grain
sporophyte meaning
phase of plant life cycle where it produces spores by meiosis
is sporophyte asexual or sexual
asexual
is gametophyte sexual or asexual
sexual
is gametophyte diploid or haploid
haploid
is sporophyte haploid or diploid
diploiod
what is gametophyte
sexual phase where it produces gametes that undergo alternation of generations
sporophyte location
mosses and ferns
archegonia
Egg producing gametangia
antheridia
Sperm producing
sporophyte depends on gametophyte for
nutrients and support
spores develop into what kind of plants after falling to ground
independent gametophyte
in seed plants; are gametophyte big or small
small
what gets released from sporophyte during pollination
male gametophyte
where is male gametophyte produced
within the flowers of the sporophyte.
term for reproductive organ of female (pistil)
carpel
term for reproductive organ of male
stamen
2 stages of male gametophyte
immature and mature
pollination
transfer of pollen from anther (male part) to stigma (female part)
pollination pollens
transfer from one flower to another
fertilization takes place when?
takes place after pollination is transferred successfully.
2 components of embryo sac:
egg and polar nuclei
know steps of double fertilization
refer to gd notes
3 parts of seed
radicle, hypocotyl, epicotyl
Radicle
basal portion of embryo
Develop into true root system
Hypocotyl
middle portion
Develop into transition zone b/w root and stem
Epicotyl
part attached to cotyledons
Develop into above ground structures of plant (stem, leaves, flowers)
when does fruit start to develop
after pollination
where doe fruit develop from
ovary (bottom of flower)
fruit function
seed dispersal + allow plant to reproduce
2 ways fruit gets dispersed
- juicy and fresh fruit (dispersed by animals feces)
- dry fruit (dispersed by different media)
ex: Dandelion seeds dispersed by wind
3 fruit dispersal mechanism
water, wind, animal
can plants reproduce without seed
yes
why plants being asexual type is not favorable
Doesn’t produce much
Requires external force + time
Does not provide genetic variation
Offspring identical to parent plant
4 ways plants can reproduce without seeds
Bulbs
Rhizomes
Runners
Tubers
swollen tips of underground stems like potatoes (asexual method)
tubers
horizontally growing stems (strawberries) = asexual method
Runners
underground stamps (ferns, bamboo) = asexual method
Rhizomes
short stem, storage leaves (tulips, onion) = asexual method
Bulbs
