Bio153 final exam review winter 2015 chapter 30. Anther: in an angiosperm, the terminal pollen sac of a stamen, where pollen grains containing sperm-producing male gametophytes form. Basal angiosperm: a member of one of three clades of early-diverging lineages of flowering plants. Examples are amborella, water lilies, and star anise and its relatives. Carpels: the ovule-producing reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary. Double fertilization: a mechanism of fertilization in angiosperms in which two sperm cells unite with two cells in the female gametophyte (embryo sac) to form the zygote and endosperm. Embryo sac: the female gametophyte of angiosperms, formed from the growth and division of the megaspore into a multicellular structure that typically has eight haploid nuclei. Endosperm: in angiosperms, a nutrient-rich tissue formed by the union of a sperm with two polar nuclei during double fertilization. The endosperm provides nourishment to the developing embryo in angiosperm seeds.
