16.3 Flowers and Types of reproduction

        Help!  

Question
Answer
female reproductive part of a flower   pistil  
🗑
male reproductive part of a flower   stamen  
🗑
stem-like structure of a stamen   filament  
🗑
top portion of a stamen   anther  
🗑
sticky top of a pistil   stigma  
🗑
the stem-like part of a pistil   style  
🗑
the bottom of a pistil   ovary  
🗑
What is the function of the ovary?   produce eggs (ovules)  
🗑
process of pollen from an anther contacting the stigma of a pistil   pollination  
🗑
union of a sperm nucleus and an egg nucleus   fertilization  
🗑
What must happen after pollination before fertilization can occur?   Sperm nuclei must travel down the pollen tubes and into the ovary  
🗑
a structure that developed from the ovary of a flower; it protects seeds and can assist in dispersal   fruit  
🗑
How do flowers promote their own pollination?   bright petal colors, unique aromas, patterns on petals, open funnel-like shape  
🗑
What will a fertilized egg (ovule) develop into?   a seed  
🗑
reproduction with one parent, in which the offspring are identical to the parent   asexual reproduction  
🗑
reproduction with a male and female sex cells (sperm and egg cells)- offspring is not identical to either parent   sexual reproduction  
🗑
examples of asexual reproduction   budding (Hydra), binary fission (amoeba, bacteria, etc), regeneration (worms, etc)  
🗑
advantages of asexual reproduction   convenient - only one parent; takes less energy/investment  
🗑
disadvantages of asexual reproduction   cannot improve the quality of the species - always identical; more difficult to adapt to changing environment  
🗑
examples of sexual reproduction   pollination and fertilization of flowers to produce seeds; mating of animals, even hermaphrodites  
🗑
what is a hermaphrodite?   an animal with both male and female parts  
🗑
