Bio Exam 3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Eukarya is divided into 4 kingdoms | protista, plantae, fungi, animalia |
| Importance of plants | supply oxygen, most food eaten by land animals, important in soil formation |
| What kind of challenges did land present to plants? | obtaining water, lack of structural support, reproduction |
| Diploid | having two sets of chromosomes (2n) |
| Haploid | having one set of chromosomes (1n) |
| Does Haploid undergo meiosis or mitosis? | meiosis |
| Does diploid undergo meiosis or mitosis? | Both |
| Meiosis | type of nuclear division in which one diploid parent cell produces four haploid cells |
| Mitosis | type of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that results in two daughter cells genetically identical to the parent cell |
| Are daughter cell of mitosis, haploid or diploid? | depends on the parent cell |
| Sporophyte | the multicellular diploid plant that produces haploid spores through meiosis |
| spores | produced through meiosis and develops into a multicellular haploid gametophyte |
| gametophyte | multicellular haploid plant that develops from a single haploid spore and produces haploid gametes through mitosis |
| gametes | haploid egg and sperm fuse (fertilization) to produce a diploid zygote that grows into a diploid sporophyte through mitosis |
| Alternation of Generation | plants alternate between two multicellular stages |
| Two stages of Alternation of Generation | gametophyte generation (gamete-producing plant), sporophyte generation (spore producing plant) |
| what does the gametophyte generation produce | Haploid produces haploid gametes through mitosis |
| what does the sporophyte generation produce | Diploid produces haploid spores through meiosis |
| Spores Germinate | cells divide by mitosis and develop into a haploid gametophyte |
| What are female gametangia called? | archegonium (produces single-non motile egg) |
| What are male gametangia called? | antheridia (produces flagellated sperm) |
