Document Summary

In asexual reproduction the offspring are derived from a single parent without genetic recombination. The result would be a clone which is genetically identical organism to the parent. In apomixes there is no joining of sperm and egg. Growth and development of the vegetative plants (organization of the plant body) The plant body has hierarchy of organ tissues and cells. Plants like multi-cellular animals have organs composed of different tissues and these tissues are composed of cells. The basic morphology of a vascular plants is organised into a root system and shoot system. Tap root system: most dicots and gymnosperms plants, consisting of one main vertical root (tap root) that develops from embryonic root (root radical) The tap root gives rise to lateral root. Fiberous root system: a mat of generally thin roots spreading out below the soil surface, with no roots standing out as the main one. This type of root found main in most monocot (mainly grasses)

6. Nectar is a sugar-laden liquid that is very energeticallyexpensive to produce. Why do plants allocate resources to produceit instead of just producing more flowers?

Nectar serves as an enticement forinsects.
Nectar is sticky and traps windborne pollen.
Nectar provides nutrition to thedeveloping embryo.

Ovules are contained within thepollen.
Sperm cells are used to transportpollen to the archegonia.
Seed plants use pollen instead ofsperm for fertilization.
The sperm cells in seed plants arecapable of resisting desiccation.

10.Select the true statements concerning seeds. Can be more thanone

Seeds allow for dormancy untilfavorable conditions arise.
The fruit provides nutrition to thedeveloping embryo.
The ovule dries and forms the seedcoat.
The seed stores all of thenutrition and water the embryo needs to germinate.
Seeds can resist conditions thatwould kill a live plant.

Seeds are key to wide dispersal of offspring.

11. Select the true statements concerning sperm and pollen. Canbe more than one.

In seed plants the entire malegametophyte is dispersed.
The pollen fertilizes the egg.
The pollen tube facilitates thepollination of the ovule.
Pollen transports the cells thatform the sperm but only the sperm fertilizes the egg.

Unlike mosses and ferns water is not needed for fertilization inseed plants.

12.Check which of the following are correct regarding thebenefit of seeds. Can be more than one.

Seeds protect the young embryo byenclosing it in several layers of gametophyte tissue.
Seeds provide a source ofnourishment to the embryonic plant.
The integument forms a seed coatthat protects against desiccation.
Seeds provide a structure in whicha dormant embryo can avoid unfavorable growing conditions andgerminate when conditions improve.

Seeds are a means to transport offspring away from the parentalplant.

an androecium.

both an androecium and a gynoecium.

Corn
Sunflower
Liverwort
Wheat
