-
sepals
outermost whorl, leafy structures cover the bud
-
petals
brightly colored, attract pollinators
-
androecium
male structures, anther + filament
-
dicot
- parts in 4 or 5s
- two cotyledons
- netted venation
- tap roots
- 3 pores in pollen
-
monocots
- parts in 3s or 6s
- one cotyledon
- parallel venation
- one more in pollen grain
- fibrous roots
- tepals- sepals that are colorfull and look like pedals
-
complete flower
contains all 4 floral whorls
-
incomplete flower
missing of the 4 whorls
-
4 floral whorls
pistil, stamen, petal, sepal
-
perfect flower
flower w/ male and female parts
-
imperfect flower
either male or femal parts only
-
hypogynous
superiour ovary
-
perigynous
half inferior ovary
-
-
diploid
having a full set of chromosomes ( 1 from mom 1 from dad) in each cell
-
haploid
having only half the number of chromosomes present in each cell
-
-
gametophyte
gamete producing plant
-
sporophyte
spore producing plant
-
gamets are haploid (sperm, egg)
-
results of meosis
- haploid spores produced
- sex cells
- increase in genetic diversity
-
-
meiosis reduces chromosome number from diploid to haploid
- gentic material reduced to half
- gametes produced with only one haploid set of chromosomes
-
crossing over
genetic exchange between each homologous pair of chromosoms
-
meiosis
specialized cell division results in formation of haploid cells (gametes)
-
2 major stages of meiosis
- meiosis 1- crossing over occurs
- meosis 2- cell division w/out replication
-
interphase
before meiosis begins, genetic material is duplicated
-
prophase 1
- duplicated chromatin condenses.
- each chromosome consists of two, closely associated sister chromatids.
- crossing over can occur during the latter part of this stage
-
metaphase 1
homologous chromosomes align at the equatorial plate
-
anaphase 1
homologous pairs seperate with sister chromatids remaining together
-
telophase 1
2 daughter cells are formed with each daughter containing only one chromosome of the homologous pair
-
second division of meosis
gamete formation
-
prophase 2
dna does not replicate
-
metaphase 2
chromosome align at the equatorial plate
-
anaphase 2
centromeres divide and sister chromatids migrate seperately to each pole
-
telophase 2
cell division is complete four haploid daughter cells are obtained
-
microsporocytes (diploid)
undergo meiosis 1 and 2 to make haploid microspores
-
pollination
the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma
-
self pollination
pollen transfer in same plant
-
self complatible
flowers make seeds by using their own pollen
-
cross pollination
pollen transfer from one plant to another
-
self incompatible
flowers cannot make seed w/out recieving genetically distinct pollen
-
