Document Summary

Develop inside sporophyte flowers, very small and parasitic (can"t live on their own until they fully develop) Sac development results in 7 cells (one cell does not complete cytokinesis, so 1 cell has 2 nuclei) 1 primary endosperm cell with 2 nuclei (dikaryotic cell) n+n. Other mechanisms used by bisexual flowers to avoid self-fertilization: Genetic self-incompatibility, gauged by s-genes (50-60 alleles, diploid plant gets 2 alleles) The first mitotic division of the zygote is asymmetric. This asymmetry provides the first environmental differences experienced by the differentiating cells and establishes the root-shoot axis. The endosperm develops from the triploid endosperm nucleus. Tissues of the ovary (and sometimes the receptacle) become the fruit. Function of fruit is to aid in seed dispersal (not pollination) Mechanical dispersal (seed fills up with water until pressure exerted and shoot offspring away from parent) Animal dispersal (ex. stickers that stick to socks) Bird dispersal (ex. birds eat cherries- mutualistic symbiotic relationship)
