Document Summary

Angiosperms have flowers, fruits, and seeds (unique) Angiosperms use double fertilization - two sperm cells (1 for zygote, 1 for endosperm) (unique) Angiosperm"s plant life cycles involve alternation of generations (sporophyte gametophyte) (not unique) In angiosperms: multicellular diploid (sporophyte) is dominant and multicellular haploid (gametophyte) is microscopic. Most plants reproduce sexually with meiosis and fertilization in alternate phases of the life cycle. Sporophyte = diploid (2n), gametophyte = haploid (n) Diploid --> meiosis --> microspore haploid --> mitosis --> gametophyte haploid --> fertilization --> diploid. Diploids --> gametes --> pollination --> double fertilization --> embryo development --> seed/fruit --> dormancy. Four ring like structures : sepal, petals, stamen, carpels (modified leaves) Flowers rely on attracting insects with nectars and appearances, grasses rely on wind. Apical meristems differentiate into floral meristems which form modified leafs. Plants: meiosis --> microspores (n) --> mitosis --> gametophyte (n) --> gamete (2n) Micro = male, mega = female (female parts are bigger)
