Male Anatomy
The part of the flower that produces the pollen grains
Anther
The "container " in which seeds are enclosed
Carpels
Results in a clone of genetically identical organisms
Asexual reproduction
This plant hormone is produced in young roots, leaves, and embryos, and promotes cell elongation and cell division
The stalk that supports the pollen-bearing structure
Filament
The swollen base of the pistil that contains the ovules
Ovary
A form reproduction in which a parent organism breaks into smaller parts, each capable of growing independently into a new organism
Fragmentation
Cytokinins are produced in?
Actively growing tissue (roots, embryos, fruits)
What is the name of the structure that contains both the anther and the filament?
Stamen
The stalk that connects the ovary to the stigma
Style
The asexual production of seeds from a diploid cell
Apomixis
What is Auxin also known as?
Indoleacetic acid (IAA)
How many gametophytes do males produce?
4
The sticky portion of the pistil that receives pollen during pollination
Stigma
What kind of flowers do Dioecious species have?
Staminate and Carpellate flowers on separate plants
What hormone slows plant growth?
Abscisic Acid (ABA)
A pollen grain is made up of what two types of cells?
Generative cells and Tube cells (nucleus)
Each ovule contains how many eggs?
1
What does the stock system provide to the plant when grafting?
The root system (the scion is then grafted onto the stock)
Cytokinins control apical dominance. What is apical dominance?
A plant phenomenon where the main shoot of a plant controls the growth of other shoots
