Reproduction I
Flowering plants.
What are angiosperms?
Both angiosperms & gymnosperms reproduce in this way.
What is sexually?
Tiny survival capsules for genetic information.
What are seeds?
The female gametes, or “eggs” of an angiosperm.
What are ovules?
The male gametes, or “sperm” of an angiosperm.
What is pollen?
The reproductive organ of angiosperms.
What is a flower?
The reproductive organs of gymnosperms.
What are cones?
This protects seeds & aids in their dispersal.
What is fruit?
Where the ovules (eggs) are stored in an angiosperm.
What are ovaries?
Where pollen (sperm) is produced for an angiosperm.
What is the anther?
The process where a plant embryo bursts from the seed coat & begins to grow.
What is germination?
These are used by mosses & ferns in reproduction.
What are spores?
These attract pollinators to flowers.
What are petals?
The three parts of the pistil.
What are the Stigma, Style, & Ovary?
The two parts of the stamen.
What are the Anther & Filament?
The top part of the pistil, where pollen (sperm) is trapped.
What is the stigma?
Seed-producing plants that do not produce fruit.
What are gymnosperms?
These protect the buds as a flower is growing.
What are sepals?
This grows through the stigma to the ovary.
What is the pollen tube?
This process begins when pollen (sperm) from the anther is transferred to the stigma.
What is fertilization?
The male reproductive organ of an angiosperm.
What is a stamen?
The female reproductive organ of an angiosperm.
What is a pistil?
Where fertilization occurs in a flowering plant.
What is the ovary?
This is the part of the pistil that joins the stigma & the ovary.
What is the style?
The part of the stamen that supports the anther.
What is the filament?
