Word
Definition
alternation of generation   in which a haploid and diploid generations take turns producing each other  
🗑
sporophyte   produces haploid spores by meiosis  
🗑
gametophytes   multicellular males and females, the haploid generation  
🗑
sepals   a whorl of modified leaves in angiosperms that encloses and protects the flower bud before it opens  
🗑
petals   pretty = ) used to play games with i.e. he loves me, he loves me not....  
🗑
stamens   the pollen producing male reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of another filament  
🗑
carpels   the female reproductive organ of a flower,consisting of stigma, style, and ovary  
🗑
ovules   where embryonic sacs develop, which are enclosed by the ovaries  
🗑
complete flowers   those having all four organs  
🗑
incomplete flowers   those lacking one or more of the four floral parts  
🗑
perfect flower   can be incomplete and lack petals, equipped with both stamen and carpels  
🗑
imperfect flower   flowers missing either stamen or carpels  
🗑
monoecious   when staminate and carplate flowers are located on the same individual plant (one house)  
🗑
dioecious   species has staminate flowers and carpellate flowers on separate plants  
🗑
microspore   a haploid division of microsporocyte, eventually undergoes mitosis and produces a generative cell and a tube cell  
🗑
megaspore   a haploid division of megasprocyte, in some angiosperms only 1 survives  
🗑
embryo sac   the female gametophyte  
🗑
pollination   bringing male and female gametophytes together, placing pollen onto the stigma of a carpel  
🗑
self-incompatible   if a pollen grain from another happens to land on a stigma of a flower on the same plant, a biochemical block prevents the pollen from completing its development and fertilizing an egg  
🗑
endosperm   a food storing tissue  
🗑
double fertilization   the union of two sperm cells with different cells of the embryonic sac  
🗑
seed coat   enclosing the embryo and food supply, formed by the integuments of the ovule, the progenitor of the seed  
🗑
hypocotyl   the embryonic axis, terminates the radicle  
🗑
radicle   embryonic root  
🗑
epicotyl   portion of the embryonic axis above the cotyledons  
🗑
scutellum   specialize type of cotyledon found in members of the grass family like corn and wheat  
🗑
coleorhiza   covers the root  
🗑
coleoptile   cloaks the embryonic shoot  
🗑
fruit   yummy!, protects the enclosed seeds and aids in their dispersal by wind or animals  
🗑
pericarp   thickened wall of the fruit  
🗑
simple fruit   fruit derived from a single ovary, cherry  
🗑
aggregate fruit   blackberry, result from a single flower that has several carpels  
🗑
multiple fruit   pineapple, develops from inflorescence, a group of flowers tightly clustered together  
🗑
imbibition   the absorption of water due to the low water potential of the dry seed  
🗑
vegetative reproduction   when plant species clone themselves by asexual reproduction  
🗑
fragmentation   the separation of a parent plant into modes of vegetative reproduction  
🗑
apomixis   asexual production of seeds  
🗑
callus   undifferentiated cells formed by mass dividing at the shoot  
🗑
stock   the plant that provides the root system  
🗑
scion   the twig grafted onto the stock  
🗑
protoplast fusion   a technique working with tissue cultures to create new plant variates that can be cloned  
🗑
monoculture   the cultivation of large areas of land with a single plant variety  
🗑
development   the sum of all of the changes that progressively elaborate an organism's body  
🗑
growth   an irreversible increase in size, results from cell division and cell enlargement  
🗑
morphogenesis   the development of form  
🗑
cellular differentiation   the acquisition of a cell's specific structural and functional features  
🗑
preprophase band   microtubules in the cortex of the cell become concentrated into a ring  
🗑
pattern formation   the development of specific structures at specific locations  
🗑
positional information   signals of some kind that indicate each cell's location within an embryonic structure  
🗑
meristem identity genes   switching on the floral gene, activated genes for developing the floral meristem  
🗑
organ-identity genes   substitute one type of floral organ where another would normally form  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
