Cards

Term
Sporophyte
Definition
 it is the generation that bears flowers
Term
Flower
Definition
A flower, which is the reproductive structure of angiosperms, produces two types of spores by meiosis Microspores and Megaspores
Term
pollen grain
Definition
a male gametophyte, which is either windblown or carried by animal to the vicinity of the female gametophyte
Term
female gametophyte
Definition
an embryo sac
Term
list of the anatomy of the flower
Definition

 

1) stalk; peduncle

 

2) sepals; green cover leaf, also called a calyx

 

3) petals, also called a corolla

 

4) stamen (male)

-anther

-filament

 

5)carpel (felmale)

-stigma

-style

-ovary

-ovule

 

 

6) receptical

Term
Coevolution
Definition
as one species changes, the other changes too
Term
endosperm
Definition
a nutritive tissue that the developing enbryonic sporophyte will use as an enerygy source
Term
seed coat
Definition

comes from the ovule wall

 

a mature seed contains

1) the embryo

2) stored food

3)the seed coat

Term
double fertilization
Definition
results in not only a zygote but also a food source for the developing zygote
Term
pericarp
Definition

can have as many as 3 layers

 

exocarp

 

mesocarp

 

endocarp

Term
dehiscent
Definition

 

splits along two sides when mature

 

pea pod

Term
indehiscent
Definition

does not split

 

maple tree

Term
drupes
Definition
peaches have a hard srony endocarp and are often, therefore, called stone fruits, although botanically they are known as drupes
Term
monocots
Definition
monocaots have flower parts usually in threes
Term
Eudicots
Definition
have flower pares in fours of fives
Term
accessory fruits
Definition

are fruits that form from other flower parts, in addition to the ovary

 

 

strawberry 

 

many different carples 

Term
aggregate fruits
Definition
a raspberry is an example of an aggregate fruit because the flower had many seperate carpels
Term
multiple fruits
Definition
pineapples, which is derived from many individual flowers, each with fruit combines into a single larger fruit
Term
Asexual reproduction
Definition
A single parent gives rise to offsprings that are identical to the parent, unless mutations occur
Term
3 types of Asexual reproduction
Definition

- sponge is very primitive (gemmules)

 

- hydras, (budding)

 

- echinodemms (fragment)

Term
parthenogenesis
Definition
ufertilized eggs develop into complete bu haploid individuals which is not disadvantageous as long as they are adapted to the present enviroment
Term
sexual reproduction
Definition

egg of one parent is fertilized by sperm

 

offspring is different form both parents

 

Term
copulation
Definition
The union of male and female
Term
Fertilization
Definition
The union of sperm and egg
Term
External fertilization
Definition
Fish
Term
extraembryonic membranes
Definition

Serve the needs of the embryo to prevent drying out

 

One membrane surrounds an abundant supply of yolk, which is a nutrient rich material

 

 

Term
viviparous
Definition

offspring develop inside the females body untill they can live independently 

 

Term
Ovuliparity 
Definition
Ovuliparity : fecundation(fertilisation) is external (in arthropods and fishes, most of frogs)
Term
Oviparity
Definition
 fecundation is internal, the female lays zygotes as eggs with important vitellus (typically birds)
Term
Vivipary
Definition
has two different meanings. In animals, it means development of the embryo inside the body of the mother, eventually leading to live birth, as opposed to laying eggs. In plants, it means reproduction via embryos, such as buds, that develop from the outset without interruption, as opposed to germinating externally from a seed.
Term

Ovarian cycle

 

Definition

1) Anterior pituitary.(produces)

 

Follicle-stimulating hormone FSH

 

2) FSH promotes development of a follicle

 

3) Follicle secrets two hormones

estrogen and progesterone


4) estrogen does two things

       ~tells anterior pituitary to stop producing FSH

       ~tells hypothalamas to produce GnRH

 

5) gonadotropic-releasing hormone GnRH tells anterior pituitary to start making luteinizing hormone LH

 

6) LH does two things

       ~ starts ovulation

       ~ promotes the development of the courpus luteum

 

7) courpus luteum secrets progesterone

        ~ as levels of progesterone rise the anterior pituitarty hults secretion of LH and the corpus luteum begins to degenerate.
