E N D
Bryophytes • Single layer of cells • Swimming sperm • Dominant gametophyte stage • Mosses • Need aqueous environment
Pteridophytes • Individual leaves called fronds • Dominant sporophyte stage • Swimming sperm • Spores break out of sporangium • Need aqueous environment
Gymnosperms • Conifers • Cone bearing seed plants • Non-Swimming sperm • Sperm’s carried by wind and animals • Don’t need an aqueous environment • Dominant Sporophyte
Angiosperms • Flower bearing • Non-swimming sperm • Dominant Sporophyte • Divided into Monocots and Eudicots
Ground Tissue • Parenchyma • Most abundant • Least specialized and found in all organs of a plant. • Contain chloroplasts and carry on photosynthesis • Chollenchyma • Thicker primary walls • Uneven thickness • Provides support for immature regions • Sclerenchyma • Thick secondary walls impregnated with lignin • Most sclerenchyma cells support mature regions
Vascular Tissue • Xylem • Transports water and minerals • Contain tracheids and vessel elements which are hollow and non-living • Vessel elements may have perforation plates in their end walls forming continuous tube • Tracheids are tapered and have pits for water to move across • Phloem • Contain sieve-tube members • Each sieve-tube member has a companion cell that contains a nucleus because sieve-tube member cells don’t have nuclei
Casparian strip is what holds the endodermis together-water proof strip that forces water to go through the cells
Hormones • Auxin • Responsible for apical dominance • Causes growth of roots and fruits • Prevents loss of leaves and fruit • Gravitropism and phototropism • Gibberellins • Promote stem elongation • Produce larger fruits and flowers • Cytokinins • Prevent senescence • Cause axillary buds to grow
More-mones • Abscisic Acid • Initiates and maintains seed and bud dormancy • Closes stomata • Ethylene • Causes fruit to ripen • Inhibits axillary buds
Leaves • Waxy cuticle • Spongy mesophyll • Stomata • Guard cells • Lower/upper epidermis
Roots Types of roots: • Taproot- dandelion • Fibrous- grass • Adventitious- corn • Aerial- orchid
Genes or no genes ;) • Gregor Mendel documented inheritance in peas • Used experimental method ad quantitative data • DNA REPLICATION
Vocab • Genotype- description of an organisms genetic makeup • Phenotype- description of an organism’s trait (physical appearance) • Allele- variation of a gene • Gametes- sex cells • Pleiotrpy- one gene affects more than one phenotypic characteristic
Incomplete dominance • Red RR flower crossed with white rr flower makes a pink Rr flower!!!
Codominance • Two alleles affect the phenotype in separate, distinguishable ways • Found in blood types • Three alleles; IA, IB, I • Both IAand IB dominant to I allele and codominant to each other
Sex linked traits • Some alleles are passed with sex chromosomes (X and Y) • Y chromosome • SRY: master regulator for maleness • X chromosome • Contains other traits beyond sex determination such as hemophilia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and color blindness
