| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Layer of sporophyte tissue that contributes to the structure of an ovule of a seed plant. | integument |
| An adaptation of some terrestrial plants consisting of an embryo packaged along with a store of food within a protective coat. | seed |
| The transfer of pollen to the part of a seed plant containing the ovules, a process required for fertilization. | pollination |
| Member of the largest gymnosperm phylum. Most conifers are cone-bearing trees, such as pines and firs. | conifer |
| A modified leaf in angiosperms that helps enclose and protect a flower bud before it opens. | sepals |
| A modified leaf of a flowering plant. Petals are the often colorful parts of a flower that advertise it to insects and other pollinators. | petal |
| In an angiosperm, the stalk portion of the stamen, the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower. | filament |
| The ovule-producing reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary. | carpels |
| The stalk of a flower's carpel, with the ovary at the base and the stigma at the top. | style |
| A mature ovary of a flower. The fruit protects dormant seeds and often aids in their dispersal. | fruit |
| In angiosperms, the transfer of pollen from an anther of a flower on one plant to the stigma of a flower on another plant of the same species. | cross-pollination |
| A seed leaf of an angiosperm embryo. Some species have one cotyledon, others two. | cotyledons |
| In angiosperms, a nutrient-rich tissue formed by the union of a sperm with two polar nuclei during double fertilization. The endosperm provides nourishment to the developing embryo in angiosperm seeds. | endosperm |
| Member of a clade consisting of flowering plants that have one embryonic seed leaf, or cotyledon. | monocot |
| Member of a clade that contains the vast majority of flowering plants that have two embryonic seed leaves, or cotyledons. | eudicot |
| Member of the angiosperm clade that is most closely related to the combined eudicot and monocot clades. Extant examples are magnolias, laurels, and black pepper plants. | magnoliid |
