____ environments - asexual reproduction
Stable
____ environments - sexual reproduction
Unstable
Alternation of generations -
Alternate between a multicellular haploid and multicellular diploid form.
Most plants are reversed, ____ is the dominant stage.
sporophyte
With plants after meiosis, you do not have immediate formation of ____ etc. Instead you have a lifestage of an "adult" ____ plant.


Ex. If you are walking along and see this you are looking at the gametophyte. Moss is a gametophyte, it is the haploid form, rarely you can see the sporophyte brownish stalks growing out of the greenish bed of gametophyte moss.
zygote
haploid
____ - sporophytes small and dependent on gametophyte
Moss
____ - sporophyte larger and independent while dependent gametophyte few-celled and contained within flowers
Flowering plant
Flower is basically an assembly designed to make sure that ____ meet.
gametes
The ____ is designed so the gametophytes can be successful. The flower is part of the _____.
flower
sporophyte
Petals are the____, its role is to bring in the____, whatever those _____ are.
attractors
pollinators
pollinators
____ - often function to protect unopened flower bud
Sepals
____- usually serve in attraction of pollinators
Petals
____ and carpels produce distinctive spores by meiosis.
Stamens
____ are designed to attract pollinators
Flowers
____ -
One of the 2 sperm cells fertilized the egg to produce the diploid zygote. Other sperm fuses with 2 nuclei located in a different cell, produces endosperm by mitosis.
Double fertilization
___ is the plants food supply as a small embryo/food available to a plant while encased in a tiny seed.
Endosperm
____ - one of the two sperm cells in the male gametophyte, one of these sperm nuclei fuses with the egg to form the diploid zygote. The other sperm fuses with 2 nuclei (the polar bodies) located in a different cell, this becomes the endosperm by mitosis. This is a triploid cell 3n.
Double fertilization
____ - where the egg resides
Typically multiple chambers with multiple eggs residing within the ovary.
Ovule
____, where the pollen lands.
"Sticky" stigma
The ____ grows downward through the style and it "targets" the ovules, the chambers.
pollen tube
There are about ____ that comprise the female gametophyte.
8 cells
Once the ovule has been fertilized, the baby ____ is transformed into a ____.
zygote
seed
The ____ then "ripens" into whatever kind of fruit that the plants dispersal method produces.
ovary
____ is designed to float away, to get away from "mother plant" , they can grow up away from directing competing with familial organisms.
Coconut
____, all about getting something to consume it for dispersal.
Cherry
Fruit is a structure that encloses and helps ____ seeds.
____ helps reduce competition and allows colonization of new sites.
Fruits develop form ____ and sometimes other parts.
disperse
Dispersal
ovary
___ occurs if seed encounters favorable conditions.
Germination
____ absorbs water, becomes metabolically active, and grows out of seed coat.
Produces____.
Embryo
seedling
Seeds mature and then send signals to parent plant that they are "ready" for____. The zygote inside has to mature/grow to a certain point of development before it is ready to be ____ from the parent plant.
dispersal
dispersed
____ may then "hang out" for a certain time, weeks, months, years until it has appropriate conditions that it is time to ____.

Ex. Pine out west that needs a light fire to sear it.
seed
germinate
Once the seed ____, the seeds "metabolism" "shoots" off, the stems start going and the roots start going.
Once the leaves hit the light, now have the ____ and the specific signal cascade.
germinates
greening response
Seed germination and seedlings -
____ occurs if seed encounters favorable conditions
____ absorbs water, becomes metabolically active, and grows out of seed coat
Produces ____
Germination
Embryo
seedling
Pollen grain is the immature male____, it grows in the ____ in the flowers.
gametophyte
anthers
The pollen grains grown within the anthers, just as spermatogenesis in animals through ____ end up with 4 haploid microspores produced.
meiosis
Pollen grains -
Immature male ____
Develop within____
____ microspores produced
gametophyte
anthers
4 haploid
____ has a tough distinctive outer wall. It is designed to last until it can get to a sticky stigma of the right species.
Pollen grain
Early male gametophyte development-
Each ____ nucleus undergoes mitosis to form male gametophyte
Generative cell divides to produce ____

Egg cell lies between 2 sister cells
female gametophyte
