Seed Reproduction
Biology (Chapter 24-Plant Reproduction ) Review for Sapulpa High School
Question | Answer |
---|---|
When a pollen grain lands on a stigma, it begins to grow a(an) | pollen tube |
As it grows, the seedling is nourished by | endosperm |
An embryo is alive but not growing during | dormancy |
The process in which stems cut from a parent plant are attached to another plant is called | grafting |
produces pollen grains in angiosperms | anther |
flower structure containing one or more ovules | ovary |
male cone that produces male gametophytes | pollen cone |
brightly colored part of a flower that attracts insects | petals |
innermost floral part that produces the female gametophyte | pistal |
male part of a flower consisting of an anther and a filament | stamen |
cone that produces female gametophytes | seed cone |
structure in which the female gametophyte develops | ovule |
encloses the bud before it opens and protects the developing flower | sepal |
structure that grows from the pollen grain to the female gametophyte | pollen tube |
The female gametophyte of a flowering plant is called | egg |
The process in angiosperms that produces a zygote and an endosperm is called | double fertilization |
The early stage of growth in which a seed absorbs water, causing the seed coat to crack open is called | germination |
A single plant can produce many offspring genetically identical to itself in the process of | vegetative reproduction |
Sticky region at the top of a style | stigma |
The part of a seed that nourishes the embryo | endosperm |
The long, thin stalk of a flower that supports the anther | filament |
In gymnosperms, pollen grains form in | pollen cones |
In gymnosperms, female gametophyte is produced by | seed cones |
Strawberry plants send out long trailing stems called | stolons |
A detached shoot or twig containing buds from a woody plant | scion |
The process in which lateral buds cut from a parent plant are attached to another plant is called | budding |
Some plants reproduce vegetatively by producing | plantlets |
Grafting usually works best when plants are | dormant |
For a graft to be successful, what part of the two plants must be firmly connected? | vascular cambium |
The triploid cell that grows into a food-rich tissue in the seed is called the | endosperm |
A ripened ovary that contains seeds is called a(an) | fruit |
The early growth stage of a plant embryo is called | germination |
In a flower’s stamen, the filament is topped by a(an) | anther |
A sperm nucleus moves toward a flower’s ovary through a long passageway called a | pollen tube |
ripened ovule | seed |
a group of petal | corolla |
movement of seeds from parent plant to another place | dispersal |
causes of seed dispersal | wind, water, or animals |
transfer of pollen from anther to the stigma of a flower in seed plants | pollination |
seed that are dispersed by wind or water are typically | lightweight |
plantlets are genetically identical to their | parent plants |
pollination occurs when pollen lands on the | stigma |
two structures specialized for reproduction in seed plants | cones and flowers |
in angiosperm that produce male gametophytes are called | anthers |
in seed plants, the structure that in encloses the male gametophyte and transports it to another plant is called a | pollen |
the seed leaves of a flowering plant are known as | cotyledons |
most gymnosperms are pollinated by | wind |
What 3 kinds of animals pollinate angiosperms? | insects, birds and mammals |
when a sperm fuses with a egg, this is produced. | zygote |
The outer layer of the seed that protects the embryo and its food supply. | seed coat |
two environmental factors that can end seed dormancy. | temperature and moisture |
3 crop plants that most of the people in the world depends on for the bulk of their food supply | wheat, corn and rice |
the food taken from crops such as wheat, rice and corn is stored in their | seeds |
a long trailing stem that produces roots when it touches the ground | stolon |
