(43 cards)
what are reduced gametophytes
Gametophytes are microscopic and not easy to see from the naked eye
what is Integument tissue
protective covering for the ovule
How many integument(s) do Gymnosperm have?
one
How many integument(s) do angiosperms have?
two
what is an Ovule
structure that develops the ovary of a seed pant and contains female gametophytes
How many eggs develop from a megaspore?
one or more
pollen grain
male gametophyte enclosed within the pollen wall
What is the purpose of sporopolleninfor pollen grains?
protects the pollen grain as it is transported by wind or animals
what is pollination
transfer of pollen to the ovules
Are seeds multicellular or unicellular?
multicellular as they contain embryos and a layer of tissue
What kind of seeds do gymnosperm have?
naked seeds exposed that form cones
What kind of seeds do angiosperms have?
Enclosed seeds protected by fruits
Largest gymnosperm phylum
Conifer
In pine species, how many years does it take for the male and female gametophyte to produce a fertilized ovule?
3 years
Which 4 plant phyla are gymnosperms?
- cycadophyla
- Ginkgophyta
-Gnetophyta
-coniferophyta
What phyla are all angiosperms apart of?
Anthophyta
what is a Flower
specialized shoot with 4 sets of modified leaves breaking structures that function in sexual reporduction
How are angiosperms pollinated?
Insects and wind
Parts of a flower
sepals, petals, stamens and carpels
sepals
modified leaf that hemps enclose and protect a flower bud before it opnes
Petals
colorful parts on a flower that attract pollinators
Stamen
pollen procuring organ that consists of an anther and filament
Anther
where the pollen grains containing sperm are produced
Filament
stalk that holds the anther
