20
Q

Sporophyte

Study These Flashcards
A

Multicellular, diploid generation in the life cycle of a plant; produces haploid spores by meiosis

21
Q

Rhizomes

Study These Flashcards
A

Horizontal stem that grows below ground

22
Q

Sorus

Study These Flashcards
A

In most ferns, a cluster of sporangia which develops on the undersides of mature leaves

23
Q

Rhizoids

Study These Flashcards
A

In some plants, hair-like structure involved in water absorption and in anchoring the plant

24
Q

Prothallus

Study These Flashcards
A

In ferns, refers to the small-heart shaped gametophyte

25
Antheridium
Male reproductive organ on the fern gametophyte in which flagellated sperm cells are formed
26
Archegonium
Female reproductive organ on the fern gametophyte in which egg cell is formed
27
Zygote
Diploid cell formed when toe gametes fuse
28
Chiasma
Site of crossing over between the non-sister chromatids of tow homologous chromosomes
29
Ovary
One pair of female glands in which the eggs form and the female hormones estrogen are produced
30
Egg
Haploid cell
31
Sperm
Haploid cell
32
Prophase 1
Diploid cell contains 4 chromosomes (2n=4) Replicated chromosomes condense Spindle microtubules begin to pair up (Synapsis) to form tetrads Genetic exchange occurs between homologous chromosomes during a process called crossing over
33
Prometaphase 1
Nuclear envelope disintegrates Spindle microtubules attach to centromeres of each replicated chromosome
34
Metaphase 1
Tetrads are lined up along the mid region of the cell
35
Anaphase 1
The homologous chromosomes separate from each other and are moved to opposite poles of the cell by the spindle apparatus
36
Telophase 1
Replicated chromosomes arrive at poles and begin to disappear Spindle apparatus disappears Nuclear envelope starts to reform Cytokinesis begins At the end of telophase 1 there is a haploid number of replicated chromosomes
37
Prophase 2
Replicated chromosomes condense again New spindle apparatus forms
38
Prometaphase 2
Nuclear envelope disintegrates again Spindle microtubules attach to the centromeres of each replicated chromosome 2 cells
39
Metaphase 2
Replicated chromosomes line up individually along the metaphase plate of daughter cells 2 cells
40
Anaphase 2
Centromeres of each replicated chromosome seperate and the resulting single chromosomes are moved to opposite poles by the spindle apparatus 2 cells
41
Telophase 2
Single chromosomes arrive at opposite poles and start to uncoil Spindle apparatus disappears nuclear envelope will reform Cytokinesis begins Appears like the beginning of 4 cells At the end there will be 4 daughter cells each containing a haploid number of chromosomes
42
Meiosis in plants : where does it occur
In plants meiosis occurs in diploid cells called sporophytes within reproductive organs called sporangia to form haploid spores
43
Plant life cycle
Plants have a complex life cycle called an alternation of generations; meaning that they have distinct haploid and diploid stages The diploid generation called sporophyte, produces haploid spores by meiosis within structures called sporangia. These spores undergo mitosis to produce the multicellular haploid gametophyte
44
Sporangia experiment
Sporangium Sporangial stalk Spores Rhizoids help absorb food water Sporophyte tissues water
45
Chiasma
Crossed over chromosomes Animal life cycle and meiosis
