What Is A Seed Plant Flashcards
Label parts of seen and name F
Embryo
Seed coat: protection
Cotyledon: food storage
Step ate two structures of seeds that permits dormancy
Seed coat and cotyledon ( food storage)
Give two advantages of seed dormancy:
- Enable seeds to travel vast distances
2. Seeds can sustain germination until right time
What are the two spores
MEGA AND MICRO -SPORE
What two spores develop respectively??
- FEMAL SPORANGIA- meiosis- MEGASPORES -(fgametophyte)
2. MALE SPORANGIA- meiosis- MICROSPORES- MGametophyte)
Which one is protected by ovule and pollen
- OVULE pr. female gphyte (egg)
2. POLLEN pr. male gphyte (sperm)
How do pollens remove dependence on water when transportation of male gametes
Sporopollenin
How do pollens remove the dependence on flagellated sperms when carrying the male gametes to meet female gametes
Pollen tube :(carries m gametes)
5 key features shared by all seed plants
- All have seeds for nourishing embryo
- Alternation of generations : red GP incr SP
- HETEROSPORy: 2 diff spore produced
- Have OVULES
- Have POLLEN
