Q

reproduction in eukaryotes

A

-one of four conditions that define “life”

-most eukaryotes reproduce sexually

-some also reproduce asexually through binary fission, budding, fragmentation

-in most cases of sexual reproduction, haploid gametes are formed via meiosis (gametic)

-often colourful and live an almost anything moist (soil, rain gutters)

-in vegetative state they are thin, streaming masses of multinucleated protoplasm referred to as a plasmodium

-engulf bacteria and organic compounds by phagocytosis

-when food and/or water supply runs low, plasmodimum stops moving and begins to form a series of small mounds which develops into a mature sporangium that produces spores

Q

differences between plant and water environments for plant growth

A

aqatic environment:
-water is available to all cells and also acts as a supportive medium
-oxygen, CO2 and minerals required by a photosynthetic organism are in solution and so most cells are capable of photosynthesis

Terrestrail habitats:
-light, oxygen and CO2 areavailable but water is often limiting, and when present is noramlly in soil
-photosynthesis and nutrient absorbation are often seperated in terrestrial photosynthetic organisms

lycophyta

99
Q

what is the dominant generation for seedless vascular plants?

A

the sporophyte generation

100
Q

phylum monilophyta

A

-most ferns are related plants, are homosporous

-fern sporophytes are diploid

-ferns have an underground stem (rhizome), from which fronds (leaves0 arise

-pinnae

-the frond is a megaphyll that is characterized by a complex vascular trace

101
Q

What does homosporous mean?

A

-the plant produces only one size of spore in its sporangia

-the spores germinate and grow into free-living gametophytes bearing both antheridia and archegonia (a bisexual gametophyte)
-bisexual gametophyte is called a prothallus

102
Q

Phylum lycophyta

A

selaginella, a heterosporous species in this phylum

-plant produces small cones called strobilil on the tips of the branches

-has mircophyll types of leaves which are only in lycophytes
-the single strand of vascular tissue in the centre of the selaginella leaf

-a few members have evolded heterospory, so the products of meiosis are two different sizes of spores, microspores and megaspores

-these spores germinate (grow) and become microgametophytes and megagametophytes that mature inside the spore wall
103
Q

What does selaginella do?

A

-produces 2 types of sporangia and two kinds of spores- megaspores in megasporangia, microspores in microsporangia

-megaspores and microspores germinate to produce unisexual gametophytes that are retained in the spore

-megaspores germinate to form megagametophytes (female gametoplytes) that produce female gametes (eggs)

-microspores germminate to form microgametophytes (male gametophytes) that produce male gametes (sperm)

104
Q

what are pinnae?

Q

what is the function of prothallus

A

to produce the gametes

110
Q

How is the fact that antheridia and archegonia mature at different times on the same prothallus adaptive in homosporous ferns?

A

Because it increases the chances of cross-fertilization as well as genetic variation

111
Q

How is the sporophyte developed in ferns?

A

-the sperm is released from the antheridia, swim to the neck of the archegonium and then travel down to the egg.

-the fertilized egg (zygote) develops into a sporophyte which then attaches to and is dependent upon the gametophyte for nutrients

-then becomes free-living while the gametophyte shrivels and dies
