Lecture 16 Study Questions: 1) What adaptations did seed plants make to be able to successfully reproduce without water? 2) How does alternation of generation work, and during which parts of the cycle are the cells haploid and during which parts of the cycle are the cells diploid? In seed plants, which generation is dominant? 3) What are the different mechanisms of pollination that seed plants use? 4) How is pollination different between angiosperms and gymnosperms? 5) What is the function of each of the parts of the angiosperm flower (sepal, petal, stamen, carpel)? 6) What are the advantages and disadvantages of being able to potentially self-fertilize? What kinds of plants would you expect to be able to self-fertilize, and what kinds of plants would you expect to not be able to self-fertilize, and why? 7) How does double-fertilization work in angiosperms? 8) How can seed plants naturally reproduce asexually?
