Mid Terms Flashcards
Ground tissue similar to Parenchyma
Collenchyma
This replaces older plant cells of the epidermis
Periderm
Protein structure which attaches homologous chromosomes together to facilitate and maintain pairing and facilitates crossing over
Centromere
Specific type of cell in sclerenchyma tissue which gives fruits their gritty hard texture
Parenchyma cells
Continues layer of fatty material in the epidermis which waterproofs the plant
Cutin
Short resting period in-between two meiotic divisions
Interkines or Interphase II
Five stages of meiosis II
Leptoteme, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene, Diakinesis
DLZPD
The three tissues forming the periderm
Cork, Cork cambium, Phelloderm
Main conducting cells in xylem tissue
Tracheids
Stages of meiosis II
Prophase II, Metaphase II
Three types of ground tissue in plants
Parenchyma, Collenchyma, Sclerenchyma
Why the cell is not resting during interphase
The period of metabolic activity
In what way does meiosis give rise to genetic recombination to protective daughter cells
Genetic diversity in sexually reproducing populations
What meristem tissues cause plants to grow in length and in diameter
Cell division in shoot apical meristem
What are the differences in plant and animal mitosis
In plants a new cell wall is fashioned between the new daughter cells, while in animal cells the cell membrane constricts to pinch the parent cell into daughter cells
