FINALS–Ch. 22 Plant Growth, Reproduction, and Response – Flashcards

Seedless plants disperse to new areas using a. cones b. gametes c. capsules d. spores

Colorful fragrant flowers are most likely pollinated by animals wind spores water

In double fertilization, one sperm unites with polar nuclei, and the other produces filaments produces anthers fertilizes the egg none of the above

A coconut fruit can function in dispersing coconut seeds by floating in water being carried by the wind sticking to animals' fur being grown by humans

Parts of a mature gametophyte produce gametes through the process of meisosis alternation of generations mitosis fertilization

During dormancy, what plant stage is protected from extreme conditions by the seed coat? the seedling the embryo the mature plant the radicle

At what point is a young plant called a seedling? A. when the embryo breaks out of the seed coat B. when the radicle breaks through the seed coat C. when sugars more to the embryo D. when photosynthesis begins

Strawberries reproduce mainly by sending out runners or a. rhizomes b. stolons c. tubers d. bulbs

What would happen during a plant's life cycle if meiosis did not occur a. the number of chromosomes would not change b. the number of chromosomes would be cut in half very cycle c. the number of chromosomes would double every cycle. d. the number of chromosomes would triple every cycle

Pine trees each have 2 different kinds of cones. These are haploid and diploid male and female homozygous and heterozygous 1n and 2n

How do some animal pollinators benefit from helping to pollinate plants? they use the petals to make their shelters the plants protect them from predators they gain pollen or nectar to eat the pollen they collect helps them find a mate

The seeds of blueberry plants are often dispersed afar passing through the digestive system of an animal that eats blueberries. What additional benefit do blueberry seeds experience after being dispersed in this way? a. having blueberry flesh for nutrients b. having animal feces as fertilizer c. having deep soil covering them d. having no other predators

Why do seeds being stored for future use have to be kept dry? a. water will cause the radicle to rot b. water interferes with the actions of enzymes c. water will prevent the embryo from growing d. water can cause the seeds to germinate

Branches from a tree with tasty apples were grafted onto a tree that grows well at low temperatures. Which characteristic will the resulting propagated tree most likely have? a. poor tasting fruit b. tasty fruit c. no fruit d. seedless fruit

In scientific terms, a fruit is a flower's a. mature ovary b. sweet-tasting structure c. brightly colored structure d. enlarged seed

What are the male gametophytes called in a pine life cycle? a. pollen grains b. cones c. ovules d. scales

How is a pine sporophyte similar to a moss sporophyte? a. both are larger than the gametophyte b. both arise from meiosis c. both produce gametes d. both are diploid

Where in a flower are pollen grains formed/ a. in the stigma b. in the sepals c. in the anthers d. in the carpels

Why might wind-pollinatd flowers be small and inconspicuous? a. they don't need large petals to attract animal pollinators b. wind can more easily deposit pollen in small flowers c. because gametes are not produced in the flowers, the flowers can be small d. there is no space for large petals because large stamens are needed

Which of the following is not a method of seed dispersal? a. wind b. gravity c. animals d. water

Why does a seed need an endosperm? a. The endosperm provides energy for water uptake by the embryo b. the growing embryo cannot yet make its own food by photosynthesis c. the endosperm will form the emerging plumule d. the endosperm produces chloroplasts so the seedling can photosynthesize.

Which plant part cannot produce new plants by asexual reproduction? a. stem b. leaf c. root d. flower

Which is not an underground stem adapted for vegetative reproduction? a. rhizome b. stolon c. bulb d. tuber
