Angiosperms continued
These are the anther and filaments.
What is the stamen?
What are pollen sacs?
The transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the carpel in flowering plants.
What is pollination?
What is a simple fruit?
This is when reasonably warm water surrounds the seed, the outer covering of the seed loosens. This allows water to get inside the seed, which triggers the growth processes in the embryo.
What is germination?
These are the stigma, style, and ovary.
What are parts of the carpel?
Once meiosis has occurred, there are four haploid cells, which are often referred to as these.
What are microspores?
The tube nucleus turns into this.
What is a pollen tube?
Fruits that form from multiple ovaries.
What are compound fruits?
This is the first sprout and will develop into the roots of a plant.
What is the radicle?
These have both reproductive organs.
What are perfect flowers?
Once there are at least two cells in the casing, one of the cells differentiates and becomes this.
What is a tube nucleus?
A fertilization process that requires two sperm to fuse with two other cells.
What is double fertilization?
Examples of these are apples, tomatoes, cucumbers, cantaloups.
What are fleshy fruits?
This develops into the stem of the plant.
What is the hypocotyl?
These only have either a stamens or carpels.
The other cell differentiation after meiosis is this.
What is the sperm cell?
What is a seed?
Examples of these are nuts, grains, and pods.
What are dry fruits?
This is the "True leaf" of the plant.
What is the epicotyl?
Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds.
What are pollinators?
This is what occurs after meiosis.
What is mitosis?
A mature ovary that contains a seed or seeds.
What is a fruit?
These are the most disgusting fruit, even worse than (though similar to) a cantaloupe because they smell and taste like dirty socks.
What are mangoes?
This is a form of vegetative reproduction, where a stem is cut from one plant and attached to another.
What is grafting?
