Term
Definition
Anther   The upper portion of a stamen, which contains pollen grains  
🗑
Cross-pollination   The transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another  
🗑
Egg cell   A female reproductive cell in a plant or animal  
🗑
Embryo   The undeveloped stage of a plant or animal. Examples: a plant that has not germinated; a baby chick that has not hatched  
🗑
Fertilization   The union of a male reproductive cell and a female reproductive cell to form a cell that will develop into a new individual  
🗑
Filament   The stalk of a stamen  
🗑
Genetics   The science of heredity  
🗑
Germination   Starting to grow or develop; sprouting  
🗑
Ovary   The enlarged lower part of a pistil and is the reproductive organ that produces egg cells. It encloses the ovules or young seeds  
🗑
Ovule   Part of a plant that develops into a seed, found in ovary of a flower  
🗑
Pistil   The entire female part of a flower  
🗑
Pollen   A powdery grain on the stamen that contains a sperm cell  
🗑
Receptacle   The stalk which holds a flower  
🗑
Reproduction   The process by which cell produce new cells like themselves, or by which an organism produces offspring  
🗑
Self-pollination   The transfer of pollen from the anther of a flower to the stigma of the same flower  
🗑
Sepal   One of the leaflike parts which make up the calyx of a flower  
🗑
Sperm cell   A male reproductive cell in a plant or animal  
🗑
Stamen   The male part of the flower generally composed of an anther and filament  
🗑
Stigma   The top of the pistil of a flower  
🗑
Style   A part of the pistil of a flower that extends from the ovaries to the stigma  
🗑
Chromosome   Rod-shaped parts of a cell that carry the genes (the hereditary material)  
🗑
Gene   The unit of DNA which carries inherited traits  
🗑
Meiosis   Cell division which takes place in the reproductive cells and which produce new cells with half the number of chromosomes  
🗑
Mitosis   Cell division whereby new cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent. Example: Cell division for repair  
🗑
Nucleus   The part of a cell that contains the DNA molecule and controls cell activities  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
