pollen tat has undergone meiosis and contains tube nucleus and generative
Term
Perfect Flower vs. Imperfect Flower
Definition
contains male stamens and female pistils;
imperfect: pistil or stamens;not both
Term
Complete Flower vs. Incomplete Flower
Definition
C: bisexual with 4 parts (stamen, pistil, petal, sepal); In: lack one or more of four parts
Term
Hypogynous vs. Epigynous
Definition
Hypo: inserted upon the receptacle or axis below the gynoecium; Epi: appears to grow from the top of an ovary
Term
Anther
Definition
bearing part of a stamen
Term
Pollen chambers
Definition
cylinders within stamen that house microgametophte producing cells
Term
Megaspore
Definition
embryo sac of a flowering plant
Term
Megasporocyte
Definition
diploid cell in plants that undergo meiosis to create 4 haploid megaspores
Term
Megasporangium
Definition
sporangium containing megaspores
Term
Ovule
Definition
rudimentary seed
Term
Ovary
Definition
enlarged lower part of pistil on angiospermous plants; encloses ovule
Term
Carpel
Definition
single member of a compound pistil
Term
Pistil
Definition
seed bearing female organ of a flower
Term
Whorl
Definition
leaves or flowers circling a point on an axis
Term
Calyx
Definition
outermost group of floral parts; sepals
Term

Definition
inner envelope of leaves; petals
Term
Stamen
Definition
pollen bearing organ of a flower
Term

Difference between pollination and fertilization? Explain Double fertilization.
Definition
Pollination is the spreading of pollen from male to female part of a flower. Fertilization is the sperm and egg joining to form a zygote. Double fertilization is the fusion of two sperm cell gametophytes with 2 nuclei of female gametophytes in angiosperms.
