| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| frond | leaf of a fern that grows form the rhizome |
| gametophyte stage | plant life cycle stage that begins when cells in reproductive organs undergo meiosis and produce haploid cells (spores). |
| germination | series of events that results in the growth of a plant from a seed. |
| ovary | swollen base of an angiosperm's pistil, where egg-producing ovules are found. |
| ovule | in seed plants, the female reproductive part that produces eggs. |
| pistil | female reproductive organ inside the flower of an angiosperm; consists of a sticky stigma, were pollen grains land, and an ovary. |
| pollen grains | small structure produced by the male reproductive organs of a seed plant; has a water-resistant coat, and can develop from a spore, and contains gametophyte parts that will produce sperm. |
| pollination | transfer of pollen grains to the female part of a seed plant by agents such as gravity, water, wind, and animals. |
| prothallus | small, green, heart-shaped gametophyte plant form of a fern that can make its own food and absorb water and nutrients from the soil. |
| rhizome | underground stem |
| sori | fern structures in which spores are produced. |
| spore | haploid cells produced in the gametophyte stage that can divide by mitiosis to form plant structures or an entire new plant or can develop into sex cells. |
| sporophyte stage | plant life cycle stage that begins when an egg is fertilized by a sperm. |
| stamen | male reproductive organ inside the flower of an angiosperm; consists of an anther, where pollen grains form, and a filament. |
