Part of a plant
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Angiosperms | a plant that has flowers and produces seeds enclosed within a carpel. The angiosperms are a large group and include herbaceous plants, shrubs, grasses, and most trees. |
| Petals | each of the segments of the corolla of a flower, which are modified leaves and are typically colored. |
| Sepals | each of the parts of the calyx of a flower, enclosing the petals and typically green and leaflike. |
| Stem | the main body or stalk of a plant or shrub, typically rising above ground but occasionally subterranean. |
| Anther | the part of a stamen that contains the pollen. |
| Filament | a slender threadlike object or fiber, especially one found in animal or plant structures. |
| Stamen | the male fertilizing organ of a flower, typically consisting of a pollen-containing anther and a filament. |
| Stigma | a mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality, or person. |
| Style | the style is a structure found within the flower. It is a long, slender stalk that connects the stigma and the ovary. |
| Ovary | Ovary, in botany, enlarged basal portion of the pistil, the female organ of a flower. The ovary contains ovules, which develop into seeds upon fertilization. |
| Pistil | the female organs of a flower, comprising the stigma, style, and ovary. |
| Pollination | the transfer of pollen to a stigma, ovule, flower, or plant to allow fertilization. |
| Asexual reproduction | In botany, asexual reproduction refers to plant propagation without pollination. These plants do not need to disperse seeds or attract pollinators in order to produce a flower |
| Binary fission | Binary fission ("division in half") is a kind of asexual reproduction. It is the most common form of reproduction in prokaryotes such as bacteria. ... In binary fission, the fully grown parent cell splits into two halves, producing two new cells. |
| Budding | Budding is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. |
| Fragmentation/Regeneration | In biology, regeneration is the process of renewal, restoration, and growth that makes genomes, cells, organisms, and ecosystems resilient to natural fluctuations or events that cause disturbance or damage. |
| Sexual reproduction | the production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different types (sexes). |
| Internal fertilization | Internal fertilization is the union of an egg cell with a sperm during sexual reproduction inside the body of a parent. |
| External fertilization | External fertilization is a mode of reproduction in which a male organism's sperm fertilizes a female organism's egg outside of the female's body. |
