Heterospory
unicellular unit of plant reproduction
spore
what type of reproduction is this. (a/sexual)
asexual
surround the reproductive parts of the flower, attract pollinators, corolla
petals
megaspore-producing structure
carpel
diploid stage of life cycle that produces spores via meiosis. part of the alternation of generations
sporophyte
plants that form from underground stems
rhizomes
protect the flower bud, usually green and under the petals
sepal
structure that contains the megaspore, developes into seed after fertilization
ovule
haploid stage of life cycle that produced gametes via mitosis. part of the alternation of generations
gametophyte
plants that form from aboveground stems
stolons
pollen-producing structure
stamen
tip of the carpel that receives the pollen
stigma
produces megasporocytes. develope into female gametophy
Megasporangium
seeds that form without fertilization
apomixis
stalk portion of the stamen
filament
leads from the stigma to the ovary
style
produces microsporocytes. develope into male gametophy
microsporangium
split into peices that can develop into separate organisms, example of propagation
structure where microsporangia forms microspores, top of stalk
anther
contains the ovules
ovary
