Chapter 22 Flashcards
How males produce gametophyte
Spores-> mitosis-> pollen
Haploid- 2 sperm
How females produce Gametophyte
Spores-> Mitosis(3x)-> 7 cell gametophyte
What is pollination
When pollen lands on stigma
What is Double fertilization
1 sperm + egg = embryo
Other spent + polar nuclei = endosperm
Seeds and fruit
Ovule becomes seed (embryo + endosperm)
Ovary- fruit with seeds
Self pollination
Same flower
Cross pollination
Different plant same species
Carpel- pistil
Female reproductive parts
Stigma
Sticky spot to collect pollen
Style
Connects stigma to ovary
Ovary
Produces female gametophyte
Ovule
Becomes seed after fertilization
Stamen
Male reproductive parts
Anther
Produces pollen
Filament
Supports anther
Petal
Attract animal pollinators
Sepal
Outermost layer protect flower bud
Dormancy
Allow seedlings to begin to grow under favorable environmental conditions
