gametophyte

 

gamete

Term
Pollen, a male gametophyte in later gymnosperms and angiosperms, lands on the ___ and germinates, forming a pollen tube.

Definition

dioecious

 

poisonous

Term
Ginkgos were much more common 80-240mya. Currently, Ginkgo biloba is the only remaining species. They are ___, meaning they have male and female plants. They are planted in many cities, because they are quite resistant to ___. The decaying tissue around their seeds smells rancid (this is only present in female trees). They are also used in medicine and may be able to cure ___.
Definition

smog

 

Alzheimer's

Term
Gnetophytes are similar to angiosperms in that they produce wood with ___ xylem.
Definition
vessel
Term
___ are a type of gymnosperm that are found world-wide. Some of them are the tallest and oldest plants found.
Definition
Conifers
Term
Double fertilization, creating an ___ for nutrition to the seed, is seen in ___.
Definition

endosperm

 

angiosperms

Term
Double fertilization occurs in angiosperms. The pollen germinates after landing on the ___. A pollen tube, containg a ___ cell, makes its way to the ovule, into the embryo (female gametophyte). The embryo contains three ___ cells on top, two ___ in the middle, and two ___ along with an egg on the bottom. The synergids attract the sperm. While still in the pollen tube, the generative cell divides meiotically to produce two haploid sperm cells. One of these sperm fertilizes the egg, the other forms an endosperm with the two ___.

sporangium

 

gametophyte

 

gamete

Term
The endosperm is the embryo's ___ supply. It makes many types of seeds humans eat, like grain flour (wheat, barley, oat, etc), the meat of coconuts and the white part of popcorn.
