Sexual Reproduction
Organisms that have two of every kind of chromosome
diploid
An acorn is this
fruit
The reproduction of this from planted "eyes" is a form of asexual reproduction
potatoes
A sugary liquid that attracts pollinators
nectar
The saclike structure that produces pollen
anther
Gametes are these (haploids or diploids)
haploids
The tube that grows down the style and into the ovary
pollen tube
The tip of the pistil that receives the pollen
stigma
Some of these can survive being eaten by animals
seeds
This is attached to the anther
filament
The female reproductive part of a flower
pistil
A form of stored food in a seed
cotyledon
Asexual reproduction provides little variation of this
genetic variation
Flowers that lack showy petals, nectar, and odors are pollinated by this
wind
Leaflike structures found at the base of many flowers
sepals
A reproductive organ found on some plants
flower
A mature ovule containing an embryo plant
seed
This characteristic of the stigma helps it retain pollen
sticky
Someone who works with growing, harvesting, processing, or shipping vegetables, fruits, flowers, or ornamental plants
horticulturist
Contains the male gametes of a flower
pollen
This process produces haploid cells
meiosis
After fertilization, the zygote develops into this
embryo
Name the types of asexual reproduction in plants
runners root sprouts
plantlets leaf cuttings
stem cuttings
potato eyes
Flowers pollinated by this usually produce greater quantities of pollen than those pollinated by birds, insects, or bats
wind
The stalk between the ovary and stigma
style
