Study Notes
Reproductive Systems
- Male gonad: Testis
- Female gonad: Ovary
Uterine Lining
- Endometrium: Inner lining of the uterus. Embryo implantation occurs here.
Ovarian Cycle
-
Follicular Phase (first half): Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates estrogen-secreting follicles.
-
Luteal Phase (second half): Progesterone production peaks.
Hormonal Regulation
-
Ovulation: Triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH).
-
Birth control pills: Inhibit FSH and LH production, preventing ovulation.
Plant Reproduction
-
Plant sperm delivery: Pollen tubes deliver sperm to ovules.
-
Flower Structure
- Sepal: Protects the flower.
- Petal: Attracts pollinators.
- Filament: Supports the anther.
- Anther: Produces pollen (microspores).
- Stigma: Allows pollen to adhere.
- Ovary: Contains the female gametophyte.
Plant Development
-
Microspore development: Occurs in the anther
-
Double Fertilization:
- Zygote: 2n (diploid)
- Endosperm: 3n (triploid), provides food for the embryo.
-
Alternation of generations:
- Sporophyte (diploid): Produces spores.
- Gametophyte (haploid): Produces gametes
-
Bisexual Flower: Contains both stamens and carpels.
-
Seed Structure:
- Embryo: Develops from the zygote.
- Stored food: Comes from the endosperm
-
Fruit Dispersal: Fleshy fruits are often dispersed by animals consuming the fruits and passing the seeds.
-
Gametophyte location: Gametophytes develop within the flower.
-
Double fertilization site: Ovule
