100
Leaf-like structures that surround and protect the flower before it blooms
What are sepals?
100
The classification method of angiosperms
What are monocots and dicots?
100
Pine, spruce, junipers and cedars
What are examples of gymnosperms?
100
The male gametes are contained in this part of the angiosperm.
What is the pollen grains?
100
The transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another.
What is cross pollination?
200
Colourful parts of the flower that attracts insects and other small animals such as mice,birds and bats.
What are petals?
200
Seed leaf that stores carbohydrates for the young sporophyte and often becomes the first leaf to appear as the seed germinates
What is a cotyledon?
200
The structure that helps gymnosperms resist harsh summer and cold winters.
What are thin-needle like leaves?
200
The fusion of the pollen grain (sperm) and the ovule (egg) in the parent flowering plant.
What is fertilization?
200
The process when the plant splits into fragments. Each of these fragments develop into mature, fully grown plants that are identical to the original organism
What is fragmentation?
300
Female reproductive structure of a flowering plant composed of the stigma, style and ovary
What is the pistil?
300
Flowering plants with parallel veins in the leaves and fibrous roots
What are monocots?
300
A natural drug from the bark of the yew tree that may help with the treatment of cancer.
What is taxol?
300
The dominant generation of flowering plants
What is the sporophyte generation?
300
The change of a biological object triggered by the change of a related object
What is co-evolution?
400
The long tube that attaches the stigma to the ovary
What is the style?
400
Flowering plants with net-like veins in the leaves and taproots
What are dicots?
400
The main and defining characteristic of gymnosperms
What are naked seeds?
400
The structure that aids the transfer of pollen from the stigma to the ovary.
What is the pollen tube?
400
The life cycle for all plants that includes both haploid and diploid stages.
What is alternation of generations?
500
The male reproductive structure of the flowering plant composed of the anther and the filament
What is the stamen?
500
The structure that holds and provides protection for the developing plant embryo.
What is the seed?
500
Plants that have a system through which they can transport water and nutrients throughout the plan
What are vascular plants?
500
The process that changes the microspore and megaspore mother cells to the pollen grains and ovules.
What is meiosis?
500
The last sporophyte mother cells which start as diploid but they undergo meiosis to create haploid spores
What is spore mother cells?
