Plant Reproduction
In plants, the haploid multicellular stage
What is the gametophye?
Distantly-related plant species in different geographic regions both possess narrow red flowers that attract hummingbirds
What is convergent evolution?
Rare and low probability event
What is LDD (Long distance dispersal?)
Rare-plant advantage (AKA common plant disadvantage)
What is NDD?
sticky part of pistil that pollen sticks to
stigma
Separate sperm and egg-producing parts in different flowers on the same plant
What is moneocious?
Each plant species is pollinated by multiple animal species
What is diffuse mutualism?
Process by which seeds previously dispersed are dispersed again through a different mechanism or organism
What is secondary dispersal?
Uniform or evenly distributed
Why all plants don't have huge fleshy fruits
What are tradeoffs with seed number?
The process that produces spores
meiosis
Likelihood that pollinators will move to another flower
seeds copying the olfactory characteristics of dung
What is (an example of) chemical deception? (or chemical mimicry)
Common plants do even better
What is positive density dependence?
Plant height, latitude, seed mass, dispersal mode
What factors influence dispersal distance?
in gymnosperms, the sperm-producing ("male") gametophyte
pollen
pollinates gymnosperms
Aspect of seed orchids lack to maximize dispersal distance
What is endosperm
mode of reproduction that makes counting individuals tricky
What is clonal (or asexual) reproduction?
Allows for small populations to persist without pollinators
What is "selfing"? (Self-pollination)
3n tissue that results from double fertilization
What is endosperm?
Dominant generation of Angiosperms, produces spores
What is a sporophyte?
tasty treats on ant-dispersed seeds
Eliasomes
The value on the x-axis that aligns with the last point in a ROAP indicates this
What is occupancy?
What is a strategy flowers use to avoid selfing?
