22
Q

Lignophytes

A
  1. clade including seed plants and related extinct groups 2. lignophyte groups share the synapomorphy of having a bifacil vascular cambium 3. draw the table thing
23
Q

Vascular cambium

A

de afuera pa’dentro: 1. peridem 2. secondary phloem 3. vascular cambium 4. secondary xylem (wood) DRAW IT OUT!

24
Q

Progymnosperms

A
  1. Archaepteris 2. heterosporous but didnt produce seeds 3. branching system looked similar to fern fronds 4. eustele 5. the stem produced wood much like that of a conifer
25
Q

Gymnosperms

A

Naked seeds

26
Q

why are gymnosperm seeds “naked”?

A

Their seeds are not enclosed in an ovary (fruit)

27
Q

Extinct diversity

A
  1. pteridosperms = seed ferns (seed plants with fern-like leaves) 2. cycadeoids = cycad-like forms (probs not related to cycads) 3. cordaites = ancestors to conifer
28
Q

what is a seed?

A

mature ovule with embryo

29
Q

what part of the ovule is the megasporangium?

A

nucellus

30
Q

what layer or layers surround the nucellus?

A

integuments

31
Q

what is the function of a megasporocyte or megaspore mother cell?

A

undergoes meiosis to produce 4 haploid megaspores

32
Q

what provides sustenance to the embryo in gymnosperm seeds?

A

megagametophyte

33
Q

what is the microgametophyte in seed plants?

A

pollen grain

34
Q

what can the microsporangia also be called?

A

pollen sacs

35
Q

which gymnosperms have sperm WITHOUT flagella?

A

conifers and gnetophytes

36
Q

what does a haustorial pollen tube do?

A

grows into and derives nutrients from the nucellus

37
Q

cycadophyta: the cycads

A
  1. often palm-like in appearance 2. pinnately compound leaves 3. dichotomous branching 4. cataphylls, corraloid roots 5. simple cone structure
38
Q

what can the ovule-bearing strobilus be called in cycads?

A

ovulate cone

39
Q

what can the pollen-producing strobilus be called in cycads?

A

pollen cone

40
Q

what is dioecious?

A

plants produce ovules or pollen

41
Q

what is monoecious?

A

plants produce ovules and pollen

42
Q

Explain axillary branching

A

branches form from buds in leaf axils

43
Q

what does deciduous mean?

A

loses leaves seasonally

44
Q

what is a cotyledon?

A

seed leaf

45
Q

Gnetophyta

A
  1. three genera: a. ephedra b gnetum c. welwitschia 2. typically dioecious 3. reproductive structures are compound cones 4. sperm lack flagella
46
Q

gnetophyte shares some features with angiosperms

A
  1. Vessels: water-conducting tubes found in angiosperms made of cells called vessel elements 2. double fertilization: both sperm in pollen grain fuse with structures in the ovule) 3. gnetum and weltwitschia lack archegonia 4. sometimes, both pollen sacs and ovules on strobili
