25
The outer layer of a pollen that consists of a polymer sporopollenin
Exine
26
shields the DNA in pollen and spores from light, heat, cold and desiccation.
Sporopollenin
27
What is the intine composed of?
Celluloase and pectin
27
The inner layer of pollen
Intine
28
The basic unit of gynoecium
Carpel part of the gynoecium composed of an ovary, one or more style
28
Refers to the collective term for all female organss mo of the flower
Gynoecioum
28
Catches the pollen grain
Stigma
29
This elevates the stigma in advantageous position
Style
30
This is where megaspores atr produced
Ovary
31
Regions of tissue that bear the ovules
Placentae
32
What connects the ovule to the placenta?
Funiculus
33
Seeds attached to placenta via ?
nucellus
34
Radial symmetry ○ a.k.a. regular flowers
Actinomorphic
35
Bilateral symmetry two planes only
zygomorphic
35
lack any plane of symmetry
Asymmetrical
35
A collection nor aggregation of flowers on individual plant
inflorescence
36
type of inflorescence that Terminal flower usually opens first
Determinate
37
type of inflorescence that Lowest and outermost flowers open first
Indeterminate
38
example of raceme
orchid
38
Spike-like inflorescence with imperfect flowers that occur in the same inflorescence has a spathe = petal-like bract
spadix
38
lower stalks are proportionally longer so that the flowers form a flat or slightly convex head
corymb
38
Similar to raceme, but the flowers have no pedicel
spike
39
Examples of spadix:
Spathiphyllum wallisii Arecaceae
40
Examples of panicle
Mangifera indica
41
Example of spike
triticum aestivum
42
Example of plants that are apomixis
Garcinia mangostana Hieracium pilosella rutaceae citrus microcarpa
42
what is the outcome of the ovary as it develops?
fruit
42
What happens with the 2 sperms produced by microgametophyte
1 fertilizes the egg cell (2n) one fertilized the polar nuclei (3n)
42
What is the outcome of the ovule as it develops
seeds
42
this is the form of asexual reproduction where the development of an embryo does not need fertilization
apomixis
43
What cell of the microspore undergoes mitosis?
generative cells.
43
refers to the development of megaspores from the megasporocyte
megasporogenesis
43
is development of the female gametophyte from the haploid product(s) of meiosis
megagametogenesis
44
What happens to the pollen tube nucleus, the other synergid, and the antipodal cells after fertilization?
degenerate
45
this direct the pollen tube and it enters the micropyle
synergids
46
this is obtaining a portion of a leaf, stem, or root, and replanting it
cutting
47
new individual develops from some generative anatomical point of the parent organism
budding
48
combining a scion of one plant and connecting it to the stock of another
grafting
49
tissue culture or cell culture techniques
micropropagation
49
3 types of layering
air layering, simple layering and mound layering
50
give monoecious plants
