Exam 23: Seed Plants: Angiosperms

In this question, assume that the life cycle of a flowering plant begins with the germination of a seed and ends with the development of a fruit.Two events that occur in the life cycle are the formation of microspore mother cells and the formation of microspores.

Fertilization in angiosperms is characterized as _______________.

The modern view of angiosperm evolution is that they evolved independently from seed ferns and not from the conifers.

Pollination involves the

Flowering plants consists of about 150,000 species.

In this question, assume that the life cycle of a flowering plant begins with the germination of a seed and ends with the development of a fruit.Two events that occur in the life cycle are the formation of antipodals and the formation of synergids.

In this question, assume that the life cycle of a flowering plant begins with the germination of a seed and ends with the development of a fruit.Two events that occur in the life cycle are formation of a pollen tube and pollination.

_____________________ species have imperfect (unisexual)flowers on the same plant.

These flower parts are generally green and leaflike.

Double fusion (double fertilization)is found in ferns, conifers, and flowering plants.

The outer part of an ovary wall is called the exine.

Flies are attracted to blue or yellow flowers and to sweet fragrances as well as flowers that look and smell like rotten meat..

Each herbarium sheet consists of a pressed and dried plant of a given species mounted on good quality paper.The scientific name and common name are the only information that appear in the lower right corner.

An ovary usually becomes a seed.

Trends in evolutionary specialization include ______________ in both monocots and dicots.

The name 'angiosperm' used for the flowering plants refers to ______________.

Herbarium is another name for a greenhouse.

In this question, assume that the life cycle of a flowering plant begins with the germination of a seed and ends with the development of a fruit.Two events that occur in the life cycle are the germination of a pollen grain and the formation of a generative nucleus.

Which of the following tissues, cells, or structures in flowering plants is a part of the sporophyte generation and therefore diploid?

Plants that have been preserved in herbaria as part of a research collection may have a useful lifespan as long as ____________________.
