All plants have an "Alteration of Generations" life cycle in which...
...a multicellular diploid "sporophyte" stage alternates with a multicellular haploid "gametophyte" stage.
Sporophyte
Multicellular diploid (2n) stage of the plant life cycle that produces haploid (n) spores by meiosis
Spore
unicellular haploid (n) stage of the plant life cycle. It is produced by the sporophyte stage by meiotic division. It will go on to divide by mitosis to yield a multicellular haploid (n) stage called the gametophyte.
Gametophyte
Multicellular haploid (n) stage of the plant life cycle. It will produce unicellular haploid (n) gametes (sperm and ova) by mitosis.
Gametes (sperm and ova)
unicellular haploid (n) reproductive cells produced to increase the genetic diversity in the next generation by increasing genetic diversity through sexual reproductions. Gametes are formed by the gametophyte stage of the plant life cycle through mitotic cell division. Fusion of sperm and ova (fertilization) forms a unicellular diploid (2n) structure called a zygote.
Zygote
unicellular diploid (2n) stage of the plant life cycle formed by the fusion of a unicellular haploid (n) sperm and a unicellular haploid (n) ovum. The zygote contains the genes from two different parents and is genetically different from either parent. The zygote will divide by mitosis to produce the multicellular diploid (2n) sporophyte stage of the life cycle.
Angiosperms
"Flowering Plants"
Flower
reproductive structures of the plants. Modified stem with modified leaves.
Whorl
when three or more leaves are attached to the same node
Name the 4 nonfertile Flower parts
Sepal, Calyx, Petal, Corolla
Sepal
non-fertile outermost type of modified leaf, protects the developing bud.
Calyx
whorl of sepals
Petal
non-fertile next innermost type of modified leaf, often brightly colored to attract pollinators
Corolla
Whorl of petals
Name the Fertile Flower Male parts
Stamen
-Filament
-Anther
Stamen
third innermost type of modified leafe. Male reproductive structure, fertile. Each stamen is a microsporophyll (microspore-producing leaf). Each consists of two parts, filament and anther.
Filament
Stalk that elevates the anther
Anther
located at the tip of the filament and contains microsporangia (microspore producing chambers) also refered to as "pollen sacs" because they contain microsporocytes that produce microspores (male spores, or pollen grains) by meiosis.
Name the Fertile Flower Female Parts
Pistil
Carpel
-Stigma
-Style
-Ovary
--Ovule
Pistil
Innermost whorl of modified leaves. Composed of one or more carpels.
Carpel
fourth and innermost type of modified leaf. Female reproductive structures of the flower and are fertile. Each carpel is a megasporophyll (megaspore producing leaf) and consists of a Stigma, Style and Ovary
Stigma
very tip portion of the carpel. Means "sticky" and has sticky secretions that help to catch pollen
Style
Elongated stalk middle portion of carpel that functions to elevate the stigma so it can catch more pollen
Ovary
base of the carpel. Within the ovary is a structure called the ovule
Ovule
Consists of two parts, Megasporangium (megaspore-producing chamber), and it's Protective Integuments. The Megasporangium contains megasporocytes that will produce megaspores (female spores) by meiosis.
Complete Flower
contains all four whorls...sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils
Incomplete Flower
missing one or more of the four whorls
Perfect Flower
has both types of fertile whorls (stamens and pistils)
Imperfect Flower
missing one of the two fertile whorls, stamen or pistils.
Staminate Flower
imperfect flower that hasonly stamens, also called male flower.
Pistillate / carpellate flower
imperfect flower that has only pistils/carpels....also called female flower.
Monoecious Plants
Produce both types of imperfect flower on the same plant and the one plant is therefore able to produce both male and female gametes for sexual reproduction
Dioecious Plants
Produce only one of the two types of imperfect flowers (carpellate or staminate) so it requires two seperate plants to reproduce sexually, one with staminante flowers and other with carpellate flowers.
Male Gametophyte Formation - list the events
-Inside each anther are microsporangia containing diploid microsporocytes that divide meiotically to form four haploid microspores.
-Each haploid microspore divides by mitosis oce forming two cells: tube cell and Generative Cell.
Tube Cell
Forms the pollen tube shortly after pollination
Generative Cell
Exists suspended in the cytoplasm of the tube cell where it will eventually divide by mitosis forming two haploid sperm; the structure is now recognized as a mature pollen grain and representsthe male gametophyte stage of the life cycle.
Female Gametophyte Formation - list the events
-Inside the ovary is an ovule consisting of a megasporangium and its protective integuments.
-Within the megasporangium are diploid megasporocytes that divide meiotically to form four haploid megaspores; only one will survive, the other three degenerate.
-The surviving megaspore nucleus divides mitotically three times without cytokinesis, forming one large cell with 8 haploid nuclei.
-Cytokinesis occurs partioning the mass into 7 cells with 8 nuclei. This structure is called the embryo sac, which represents the female gametophyte stage of the life cycle.
Antipodal cells - where located?
3 cells at the top of the embryo sac
Central cells - Where located?
Middle, large cell. 2 polar nuclei
Synergids - where located?
bottom, 2 cells.
Egg Cell - where located?
bottom, middle cell of embryo sac.
Pollination
transfer of pollen from anther to stigma. Pollination must occur before fertilization.
Fertilization
fusion of male and female gametes (sperm and ova)
Double Fertilization
Unique process undergone by angiosperms in which there are two sperms that fuse with different female nuclei
Process of Double Fertilization
-After adhering to the sticky stigma, the pollen grain tube cell begins forming the pollen tube that grows down the style toward the ovary

-Pollen tube growth is directed chemically by calcium ion secretion from the micropyle (a small opening remaining in the ovule protective integuments)

-prior to or shortly after pollination the generative cell divides by mitosis to form two sperm (male gametes)

-The tip of the pollen tube enters the ovary, finds and enters the micropyle (small opening in the ovule integuments), and releases the two sperm into the embryo sac

-The first sperm fertilizes the egg cell to form a diploid zygote that will divide mitotically to become the embryonic sporophyte.

-The second sperm fuses with the two polar nuclei in the central cell to form a triploid nucleus that will divide mitotically to form the endosperm (food for the sporophyte during germination).

-Each ovule after double fertilization, will develop into a sedd and the ovary will develop into fruit enclosing the seeds

-A seed is a mature ovule and the fruit is a mature ovary
Seed Coat
stony or leathery covering of a seed; forms from the ovule's protective integuments
Endosperm
provides nourishment for the embryonic sporophyte during germination; forms from the fusion of the second sperm cell and the two polar nuclei of the central cell of the embryo sac.
Embryonic Sporophyte
the next sporophyte generation, forms from the fusion of the first sperm cell nd the egg cell of the embryo sac
Angiosperms taxonomically belong to which division of plants?
Magnoliophyta
What are the two taxonomic "classes" of Magnoliophytes?
Liliopsida (monocots)
Magnoliopsida (dicots)
Monocots
named for the seeds they produce in which the embryo has a single cotyledon.
Cotyledon
"seed leaf" stores the endosperm in the form of starch until it is needed by the embryonic sporophyte at the time of germination. Not a photosynthetic leaf and will shrivel and fall off shortly after the embryo penetrates the soil surface as the endosperm is consumed
Dicots
named for the seeds they produce in which the embryo has two cotyledons
Epicotyl
part of the embryonic sporophyte above the attachment to the cotyledon
Plumule
epicotyle terminates here. First true photosynthetic leaves of the plant.
Hypocotyle
Portion of the embryonic sporophyte below the attachment to the cotyledon.
Radical
Hypocotyl terminates here. Embryonic root of the plant. First part of the embryo to emerge from the seed because the embryo needs to quickly establish a water supply.
