Topic 10 - Plant Reproduction & Development Flashcards
1
Q
Sporogenesis & Gametogenesis
A
- Gametophytes
- Gametogenesis
- Gametangia of gametophyte
- Archegonia
- Antheridia
- Sporophytes
- Sporogenesis
- Sporangia of sporophyte
2
Q
Meiosis
A
- Does NOT produce gametes
- Sporangia
- Haploid spores
- Homospory
- All spores are visually identical by size
- Heterospory
- 2 kinds of spores, differ by size
- Megaspores
- Microspores
- 2 kinds of spores, differ by size
3
Q
Gametogenesis
A
- ALWAYS by mitosis
- Gametangia
- Antheridia: multiple sperm
- Archegonia: single egg
- Seed plants?
- Sperm
- Eggs
4
Q
Gamete Transfer
A
- A major issue for plants
- Sessile
- Dependence on water
- Mosses, ferns
- Reflected in structure
- Independence from water
- Seed plants
- Pollination
- Wind
- Animals
5
Q
Prevention of Self-Fertilization
A
- Incomplete flowers
- Staminate flowers
- Lacks the carpel
- Carpellate flowers
- Lacks the stamen
- Staminate flowers
- Flower dimorphism
- Thrum individuals
- TALL stamens
- Pin individuals
- Short stamens
- Thrum individuals
- Not always a big deal
6
Q
Anthophyta Pollination
A
- Indirect Pollination
- Double fertilization
- Nutritional source
- Seed develops inside a fruit
7
Q
Embryo Development
A
- Zygote to embryo
- Happens within the seed
- ‘Cleavage’
- Terminal cell
- Proembryo
- Embryo (most)
- Basal cell
- Suspensor
- Terminal cell
8
Q
Embryo Development (Part 2)
A
- Embryonic organs
- Cotyledons
- Seed leaves
- Thin or thick
- 1 or many
- Epicotyl
- Eventually develops into leaves
- Shoot apical meristem
- Hypocotyl
- Beneath the cotyledons
- Radicle
- Root apical meristem
- Cotyledons
9
Q
Seed Dispersal
A
- Gymnosperms
- Seed coat extensions
- Wind
- Angiosperms
- Fruit
- Water
- Wind
- Animals
10
Q
Seed Dormancy
A
- Growth begins here
- Only one embryo per seed
- Embryo (2N)
- Primary dermal, ground and vascular tissue
- SAM, RAM established in the embryo
- Cotyledons
- Endosperm (3N)
- Stores starch, proteins and lipids
- Seed coat (parent 2N tissues) Sclerenchyma – hard
cells are protection for the embryo - Induced dormancy
- Dehydration or temperature
- Required for germination
- Next suitable season …
11
Q
Germination
A
- Breaking dormancy
- Water
- Oxygen
- Temperature
- Imbibition
- Ruptures coat
- Radicle emerges
- Shoot emerges
- Cotyledons above or below soil
12
Q
Plant Development
A
- After the embryonic stage …
- Seed leaves
- Radicle
- Plants grow.
- Meristems produce “adult” tissues
13
Q
Vascular Plants
A
- Organs
- Roots
- Shoots
- Leaves
- Tissues
- Dermal tissue
- Ground tissue
- Vascular tissue
14
Q
Meristems
A
Plant sustain growth at apical meristem – localized areas of cell division
and growth
- Continual increase in length
- Primary growth
- Shoot apical meristem
- Root apical meristem
- Increase in girth
- Secondary growth
- Vascular cambium
- Cork cambium
15
Q
Roots
A
- Typically below ground
- Functions
- Anchorage
- Absorption
- Storage
- Transport
- Primary root
- Embryonic radicle
- Lateral roots
- Adventitious roots
- RAMs
- Root Systems
- Fibrous
- Tap
