Sexual Reproduction in Plants
How do plants sexually reproduce
Sporic Reproduction
What is the classification for a flower that contains sepals, petals, stamens and one or more pistils?
A complete flower
What is the main way that seeds travel long distances efficiently?
Animals eating a fruit whole (stocking up does not count as only the non-eaten fruit get to sprout)
This type of reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.
Asexual reproduction
In a seed plant, what is the act of the entire male gametophyte landing on the female reproductive structure called?
Pollination
Which type of pollination does the sunflower (Helianthus Annuus) most likely use?
Animal-Pollination
What is the development of an elongated embryo caused by?
cell division/cluster of cells
This term involves using plants' natural ability to reproduce vegetatively.
Artificial Propagation
What are the benefits that pollination has over sexual reproduction of seedless plant?
It does not require water or the sperm to have flagellum
In double fertilization, what do the two sperm cells each fuse with? And what does it form?
One fuses with the egg and forms a zygote, the other will fuse with polar nuclei to eventually form the endosperm.
What does a combination of food breakdown and access to oxygen in the germination process lead to?
This artificial propagation technique involves cutting the stem of a parent plant, then planting the stem.
