Study Notes
Gymnosperms
- Ovulate cones contain multiple gymnosperm ovules.
- Pollen grains contain male gametophytes, which facilitate reproduction.
- Mature gymnosperm seeds consist of a seed coat, food supply, and embryo.
- The visible pine or maple tree is a diploid sporophyte.
- All seed plants exhibit heterosporous reproduction.
- In pines, female gametophytes contain archegonia that produce eggs.
- An embryo in pines is classified as an immature sporophyte.
- Pollination in pine trees occurs via micropyle access to ovules.
Gametophytes and Reproductive Structures
- Surrounding the pine embryo, gametophyte tissue serves as a haploid food reserve.
- Of the four haploid cells produced by a pine cone's megasporocyte, only one survives.
- In pines, microsporangia yield haploid microspores through meiosis.
- Gymnosperms were dominant during the Mesozoic era.
- Megaspores in gymnosperms develop into female gametophytes.
Angiosperms
- Double fertilization is unique to flowering plants.
- Male gametophytes in flowering plants are known as pollen grains.
- Integuments of the ovule in flowering plants develop into is a seed coat.
- Carpels consist of stigma, style, and ovary.
- Stamens comprise an anther and filament.
- In angiosperms, pollination is the transfer of pollen grains to the stigma.
- Angiosperms possess flowers, a distinguishing characteristic of this group.
Other Key Facts
- Grasses are wind-pollinated and often have reduced petal structures.
- Human survival heavily relies on angiosperm produce.
- The products of meiosis in seed plants are megaspores and microspores.
- Seeds include genetic contributions from three distinct generations of plants.
