The test is on the following material:
1. Angiospermae Reproduction in the textbook pages 267-274
a. What is the purpose of a flower?
b. label the parts of a flower, which parts are male, which are female?
c. What does the fertilized ovule turn into?
d. How are angiosperms different from gymnosperms in their reproduction?
e. Explain how double fertilization happens
f. What are the many adaptations for seed dispersal?
g. Explain the advantages of pollen and some of the methods of pollen dispersal
h. Fig 10.17 Explain how monocots are different from dicots.
Vocab words: Know these definitions and how they relate to angiosperm reproduction: Be prepared to label these words on a diagram and also to explain how reproduction happens:
Angiosperm (means covered seed)
Co-evolution (with insects)
Flowers
FEMALE PARTS
Pistil, stigma, ovule
Petal,
embryo
Megaspore mother cell
meiosis, mitosis, mitosis, meiosis, haploid n
egg, spare nuclei, polar nuclei
MALE PARTS
Stamen, anther, filament
microspore mother cell
meiosis, mitosis, mitosis, meiosis, haploid n
n+n pollen
FERTILIZATION
stigma, pollen
generative nucleus, tube nucleus
generative nucleus --> sperm nuclei
tube
double fertilization
2n embryo --> new plant
3n endosperm --> "baby food" for the new plant --> cotyledon
PARTS OF SEED
seed coat
3n endosperm
2n embryo
it's a monocotyledon = corn, rice or a dicotyledon= soybean, peanut, cashew
OVULE or RECEPTACLE eventually become FRUIT
a drupe or a berry or an accessory or an aggregate
Your colouring diagrams. Be prepared to identify certain flowers and fruits according to these diagrams:
