Q

Gymnosperms

A

-sporophyte produces male and female cones
-pollen grains develop in male and cones by meiosis
-female cones are larger and have woody scales
-pollen grains drift down female cones
-pollen tube emerges from the pollen grain
(look up what it does in notes)

26
Q

Angiosperms

A

-posses flowers and fruits
-floral organs are thought to have evolved from leaves
-

27
Q

Complete Flower

A

has four whorls

28
Q

Incomplete flower

A

lacks 1 or more of these whorls

29
Q

Calyx

A

consists of sepals

30
Q

Corolla

A

consists of petals

31
Q

Androecium

A

collective term for stamens

32
Q

What do stamens consist of?

A

a filament and an anther

33
Q

Gynoecium

A

collective term for carpels

34
Q

What do carpels consist of?

A

an ovule, ovary, style and stigma

35
Q

Microgametophyte

A

Four microscopes form through meiosis and become pollen grains. Each consists of:

  • tube cell
  • generative cell that will later divide to 2 sperm cells
36
Q

Megagametophyte

A
  • female gametophyte
  • 2 become polar nuclei
  • at the micropyle end, one cell functions as the egg, and the other two are synergids
  • at the other end, three cells are antipodals
37
Q

pollination

A

the process by which pollen is placed on the stigma

38
Q

self-pollination

A

pollen from flower anther pollinates stigma of same flower

39
Q

cross-pollination

A

pollen from anther of one flower pollinates the anther of another flowers stigma

40
Q

bees

A

most common insect pollinators

nectar guides

41
Q

Butterflies

A

prefer flowers that have flat “landing platforms”

42
Q

Birds

A

like red flowers

usually inconspicuous to insects

43
Q

plants that get wind pollinated

A

small green and odorless

often grouped and hanging down in tassels

44
Q

Angiosperms undergo a unique process called _________

Describe this

A

Double Fertilization
-tube cells form a pollen tube
-generative cell divides to form 2 sperm cells
One sperm cell fuses with the egg cell to form the diploid zygote
-other sperm cell nucleus fuses with the two polar nuclei to form the triploid endosperm
-nourishes embryo

45
Q

Fungi Fertilization

A

fertilization by merging hyphae cells from 2 individuals

  • Karyogamy
  • sometimes forms a dikaryotic cell before karyogamy
46
Q

Basidomycota

A

see notes

47
Q

True or False

Most animals reproduce asexually

A

false

48
Q

True or False

fertilization evolved on land first

A

false

fertilization evolved in the ocean before animals colonized land

49
Q

External fertilization

A

eggs and sperm are released into the water where union of the free gametes occurs

50
Q

Internal fertilization

A

sperm are introduced into the female reproductive track

51
Q

What are the three strategies of developement of internal fertilization?

A

Oviparity: fertilized eggs are deposited outside mothers’ body to complete their development
Ovoviviparity: fertilized eggs are kept within mother to complete development, and young obtain food from egg yolk
Viviparity: young develop within mother and obtain nourishment from her blood

52
Q

What animal type is viviparous, ovoviviparous, and oviparous?

A

cartilaginous fish

53
Q

Give three details about amniotes

A
  • the amntiotic egg has four membranes
  • water tight
  • results from internal fertilization
54
Q

Most reptiles and birds are viviparous, ovoviviparous, or oviparous?

A

oviparous

55
Q

what is copulation?

A

males uses a penis to inject sperm into the female

56
Q

what is ovulation?

A

the period release of a mature egg

57
Q

what is the estrous cycle?

A
  • occurs in most female mammals

- females are only receptive to males around ovulation (estrous)

58
Q

what is the menstrual cycle?

A

shedding of the inner lining of the uterus

59
Q

What the difference between the estrous cycle and the menstrual cycle?

A

Menstrual cycle= female can copulate at any time in their cycle; in the Estrous cycle females copulate when they are ovulating
