cotyledon
flower
reproductive structure of anthophyta
Parts of a flower
Peduncle- flower stalk
Receptacle- base of the stalk bears floral organs
Sepals- outermost whorls and makes calyx
Petals- colored inner whorls and makes corolla
Perianth- combined calyx and corolla
Androecium
also called stamen
-male part of flower located inside the petals
- made up of filament and anther
-anther contains pollen grains that produces male gametes
Gynoecium
carpel or pistil (sporophylls)
each pistil consist of ovary, style, and stigma
Microsporogenesis
occurs within anther
anther houses microsporangia that produce 2n microspore mother cells
Do microspores develop into pollen grains?
yes
Do microspore mother cells undergo meiosis?
yes, they undergo meiosis to produce four microspores
Megasporogenesis
occurs within the ovary
ovary houses megasporangia that produces 2n megaspore mother cell
Does megaspore mother cell undergo meiosis?
yes, the mother cell undergos meiosis to produce four megaspores
After the megaspore degenerate, does the remaining megaspore undergo mitotic divisions to form embryo sac?
Yes
how many cells doe the embryo sac usually consist of?
7-8 nuclei
six of the cells contain single nucleus including egg
polar nuclei
central cell in embryo sac contains two nuclei
What parts are directly involved in fertilization in angiosperms?
egg cell and two polar nuclei
remaining cells degenerate
Anther sac splits open releasing what?
pollen
How does the released pollen move?
It transfers to the stigma with the help of wind, water, insects, and other animals
What are the two nuclei that angiosperm pollens have?
tube and generative nuclei
Tube nucleus
is vegetative i.e. non-reproductive and grows into pollen tube.
Generative nucleus
is reproductive and divides into two sperm cells.
How are the two sperm nuclei delivered?
pollen tube grows down style into the ovary and delivers the two sperm nuclei
A.O.G.
unique to angiosperms
-One sperm fuses with the egg cell and becomes zygote (2n) [1st fertilization].
-The second sperm fuse with the polar bodies and forms a triploid structure called endosperm (3n) [2nd fertilization]
what supplies nutrients to the growing embryo?
Endosperm
Heterospory
producing two types of spores i.e. micro and megaspores
What is sporophylls?
microsporophylls and megasporophylls
Microsporophyll>Microsporangia > Microspores > Male Gametophytes
Megasporophyll >Megasporangia > Megaspores >Female Gametophytes
Do gymnosperms possess ovules, seeds and pollen grains?
Yes
How did the evolution of ovules, seeds, and p.g. help?
Provided new way to cope with terrestrial conditions such as drought and exposure to UV rays
Sporophylls
spirally arrange in cone like structures
have microsporophylls and megasporophylls termed as male and female cones (strobilus)
Does male cones have microsporangia?
Yes, they house pollen grains that develops into male gametophytes
After fertilization, the female cones turns into seed and lay exposed on the megasporophylls. What is this called?
Naked Seed
Angiosperms, ovule is enclosed in a carpel also called?
covered seeds
What is the criteria for gymnosperms?
morphology
What are the four phylums of gymnosperms?
Cycadophyta, Ginkophyta, Gnetophyta, Coniferophyta
Phylum Cycadophyta (Gymnosperms)
thrived during the mesozoic era- age of the dinosaurs
-resemble palm trees with evergreen leaves and unbranched trunks
-sperms have flagella- primitive character
EX. Zamia
Phylum Ginkgophyta (Gymnosperms)
only one species Ginkgo biloba
-Commonly called maidenhair tree deciduous fanlike leaves.
-Popular ornamental trees due to tolerance towards insects, fungi, and pollution.
-Dioecious.
-Landscapers prefer male over females as the latter produce stinky seeds. Have motile sperms similar to Cycads.
-Not found in the wild. Could be extinct already.
Phylum Gnetophyta (gymnosperms)
smallest group
-some are tropical and other live in deserts
-Very distinctive in appearance and closely resembles flowering plants. (Both internal and external structures)
(Phylum Gnetophyta)
Genus Gnetum
-includes about 35 species of tropical trees, shrubs, and vines, mainly native to Africa and Asia.
-Leaves looks similar to those of flowering plants.
-Seeds look somewhat like fruits.
(Phylum Gnetophyta)
Genus Ephedra
-includes about 40 species that inhabit arid regions worldwide.
-These desert shrubs, commonly called “Mormon tea”, produce the compound ephedrine, which is used medicinally as decongestant, stimulant and to control hypotension.
(Phylum Gnetophyta)
Genus Welwitschia
-consist of only one species, Welwitschia mirabilis.
-It lives only in the deserts of southwestern Africa (Namibia and Angola)
-Its strap like leaves are among the largest leaves known
Phylum Coniferophyta (gymnosperms
conus = cone and ferre = to carry
Many are large trees such as cypresses and redwoods.
A few conifer species dominate vast forested regions of the northern hemisphere, where the growing season is relatively short because of latitude or altitude.
Microsporophylls
male cones
It bears microsporangium that produce spores
Megasporophylls
femal cones and has two spore-producing megasporangia on the upper surface.
staminate cones
male cones
Male cone
has micro-sporangium and it produces diploid microspore mother cell (MMC)
Microspore mother cell (MMC)
undergo meiosis to produce microspores that develops into micro -gametophytes called pollen grains.
Each pollen grain has:
4 nuclei and a pair of bladder-like wings.
pollen grain with bladder like wings looks like?
Mickey mouse
How many ovules does an ovulate cone scale have?
2
Each ovule contains megasporangium that produces
diploid megaspore mother cells (MMC).
MMC undergo meiosis to produce
four haploid cells (megaspore) and only one survives
surviving megaspore undergo mitosis and finally develops into mega gametophyte
Pollination
the transfer of pollen to a receptive surface
Why is pollination mostly windborne?
b/c of the presence of a bladder
The Pollen grain germinates and grows a tube into the
archegonium
The pollen grain tube releases
2 non-motile sperm nuclei and one of them disintegrates and the other one fuses with the egg to form a zygote.
